God of Judgement

We have gotten so accustomed to a God of love...

We have practically created an idol of Him

We have watered down our knowledge of God

Till all we have is this big, sweet, soppy Divine Grandaddy upstairs

A Holy Santa Claus

Who winks at our naughtiness and accommodates all our selfish and worldly ambitions

Who gives us ALL we want, whether it is His will or not, as long as we ask in 'faith'.


But we forget His daily anger at sinners (Psalm 7:11)
We forget His hatred of wickedness (Psalm 11:5)
His intolerance of injustice and corrupt ways (Proverbs 20:10)
His promised vengeance against workers of iniquity (Isaiah 13:11)
His terror.


I caught a glimpse of His terror yesterday, and even as a blood-washed Christian, I had to hide.

And I got wondering if I had to hide, what will be the fate of those that do not have the covering of the Blood of the Lamb?

Have we forgotten He's the One that had to protect Moses in the cleft of a rock to reveal Himself to him? (Exodus 33:22)

Have we forgotten He is the One that strong winds, earthquakes, and fire precede His revelation? (1 Kings 19:11-13)

Have we forgotten He is the One from whom the earth and heaven will flee to hide from? (Revelation 20:11)

Have we forgotten He is a consuming fire? (Hebrews 12:29)


Let's not take Him for granted.

Let's not neglect the salvation He has given us.

Let's put a deep fear and reverence of Him back in our ways.

If you are a Christian, and you've made an idolatrous god that soppily loves you and will never chastise you and that you have no real fear of, REPENT! I beg of you. TURN BACK TO THE TRUE GOD. "For the Lord your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a TERRIBLE, which regardeth not persons..." (Deuteronomy 10:17).

If you have not yet had your sins washed by the blood of the Lamb and not yet turned to Christ in faith for salvation, I earnestly beg you. You cannot afford to face the terror of God - and that's what you'll face if you die and return to Him the way you are. PLEASE TURN TO HIM AND PUT YOUR TRUST IN CHRIST! Nobody promises you your next breath - do not delay!
