Conversation 4: When God Spits Nails
March 31, 2019 • Rev. Monty C. Wright
What makes God so mad that He proverbially “spits nails?” The answer to this question is addressed in the fourth Sunday conversation in the Lamentations series. We previously learned that God wants to hear our cry lament to Him, and there was a distinct pivot where He desires for us to align with Him as well. What this means is addressing those three things in our lives that He is outraged by. To hear more, listen to conversation 4, When God Spits Nails.
