Most folks don’t trust God for they think He doesn’t get angry enough; they think He’s too tolerant of evil—that’s why we crucified Jesus. These folks like to advertise that God will change: one day His mercy will come to an end, He will be angry without end, and torture the people He has made forever without end, for His wrath will never end.
Many don’t trust God because they think He doesn’t get angry enough.
Many don’t trust God because they’ve heard that He will be endlessly angry.
All of us are angry because we don’t trust God’s anger.
Why do we come to worship each week?
Don’t we come to drink the blood of the Lamb?
We come to see that the Life we have taken is, and always was, given.
We have taken blood, and His vengeance is to give blood—a river of blood that fills the land to the depths of a warhorse’s bridle.
