In His Sovereignty God Uses the Ungodly – Isaiah 10:12
It is comforting to know that the sovereign God uses the ungodly for his purposes, even while holding them accountable for their actions.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. (2 Cor. 4:7 NIV)
It is comforting to know that the sovereign God uses the ungodly for his purposes, even while holding them accountable for their actions.
As members, or leaders, in a local church, how should we respond to an accusation of sin on the part of our leadership?
Will you stand before the Lord with no regrets, having fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith?
There are core truths that we should not compromise on. But there are many disputable matters that we should not make a test of the faith.
All of my thoughts, attitudes, secret activities as well as the more public stuff will be uncovered and laid bare before God. And I can just picture him saying “so what about this time when you . . . ? How did that glorify me?”
Why do some people reject the God of the Bible? Could it be a fear of being accountable to him and the resultant consequences?
