The Best Vengeance

We all experience unjust treatment from time to time. How do we deal with it? Can we take vengeance? What if we are totally wrong? There is a vengeance available to Christians, and it is a promise. Let God take the vengeance. He promised, and it will be perfect justice. "Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' " (Romans 12:19 WEB) Our job is to forgive, forget our anger and leave any justice or deserved punishment to God. He will deal with it perfectly in His own time and way. Trust Him!

Thinking about God

Jesus gave a simple two step process that one should think about when confronted with the truth of the Gospel. (Mark 1:15) Repent literally means to change our mind or heart. (Galatians 4:8-9; Galatians 5:1) Look at the grass, seeds, ants, dinosaurs, trees, our eyes, and ears. In all this is irreducible complexity, design. For further research, look into the Institute for Creation Research (icr.org), Answers in Genesis (answersingenesis.org), and the work of Norm Geisler (normangeisler.com), Lee Strobel (leestrobel.com), Josh McDowell (josh.org), C. S. Lewis (cslewis.org), and Gary Habermas (garyhabermas.com).

Evidence for God

Is the evidence of God’s existence visible? (Psalm 19:1-6) One who calls Himself God challenges the arrogance of humanity. (Job 38:2-12) Is the evidence for God everywhere? Is an atheist’s denial not logical, but emotional based upon wrong motives? (Romans 1:18-32) Is humanity responsible for a lot of evil in the world? If indeed there is a God, would He want this? Are we blind to His loving hand? (Job 12:7-10) The basis of all life is DNA, a code. If we discovered such a code written anywhere else, we would wonder who its creator was. Yet, very intelligent people claim that it came about by accident, without an intelligent designer? What are possible motives for denying the existence of God? Will you have a change of mind and heart and believe the good news of God’s reign? You decide!

God Introduces Himself

Who is God? God is Elohim (Genesis 1:1) meaning mighty. He is also Yahweh (Genesis 15:7; Exodus 6; Leviticus 18) meaning “the one who is,” “I am who I am,” or “the self-existent one.” The Bible is filled with descriptions of God (1 John 1:5; Hebrews 4:12; Isaiah 40:23; James 1:17; Numbers 23:19). He loves us (John 3:16; 15:13). Jesus is “God with us” (Matthew 1:23).

God is perfect, just, faithful and upright. That is good news. Will you have a change of mind and heart and believe the good news of God’s reign? You decide!
