The Lord God

In Exodus 34 God describes Himself: "The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and faithfulness; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity and transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."

You don't get to pick and choose the attributes you want and discard the others. And no, you don't get to define iniquity, transgression, and sin. And yes, should the Lord tarry, the choices our nation makes will impact--at least--the next four generations. And yes, the choices you make do not just impact you. We need to brand the word "consequences" on our minds--and hearts. "Choose you this day whom you will serve."


One of the devil's biggest lies is that "there are no consequences."
