God's Perfect Judgement

The prophet is confused by the prevailing wickedness and evil in the land. In response, God offers 5 woes of future judgement. For those of us who are confused by the evil in world, may we be comforted and challenged by God's perfect plan of future judgement. And if we are the righteous, we are called to live by faith, knowing that our Lord has saved us to be a pleasing sacrifice, which means to hate what God hates and love what God loves. 1. Woe to the Thief 2. Woe to the Selfish 3. Woe to the Oppressor 4. Woe to the Shameless 5. Woe to the Idol Maker
Faith That Triumphs
