Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you (Psalm 73:27).

Well, that sounds unpleasant.

What about that loving, kind, gracious God we keep talking about? This “destroy” business sounds seriously judgmental.

Um…yep.

Beloved, God is not a player of games.  He has declared that there is but one way to be with him forever, and that is through his son, Jesus Christ.  Those who choose to follow their own path are, well, choosing their destiny.

The question, of course, is not “Why would God destroy some?”

The question is, “Why would he save any?

Or, more specifically, “Why  would he save me?”

Great question, Beloved.

Happy Thursday
