If you care about the slaughter of the innocent, then for God's sake, speak up.

By His life, death, and resurrection, our Savior has conquered our enemies, and by His Spirit He has granted us to share in the victory.

But the blessing Christ promised, the blessing of great reward, is a reward of grace. The blessing is promised even though it is not earned. Augustine said it this way: Our rewards in heaven are a result of God's crowning His own gifts.

The most violent expression of God's wrath and justice is seen in the Cross. If ever a person had room to complain for injustice, it was Jesus. He was the only innocent man ever to be punished by God. If we stagger at the wrath of God, let us stagger at the Cross. Here is where our astonishment should be focused.

Without God man has no reference point to define himself.

The gospel is the proclamation of the person and work of Jesus Christ and how those benefits can be applied to us by faith alone.

If you’re not accountable in life that means ultimately that your life doesn’t count.
