“If God does not hate racial prejudice, he is neither good nor loving. If God is not wrathful at child abuse, he is neither good nor loving. If God is not utterly determined to root out from his creation, in an act of proper wrath and judgment, the arrogance that allows people to exploit, bomb, bully and enslave one another, he is neither loving, nor good, nor wise.”

“Santa Claus theology cannot cope with the reality of evil.”

“God’s wrath is not a cranky explosion, but his settled opposition to the cancer…which is eating out the insides of the human race he loves with his whole being.”

Fleming Rutledge . . .

“All of us are capable of anger about something. God's anger, however, is pure. It does not have the maintenance of privilege as its object, but goes out on behalf of those who have no privileges. The wrath of God is not an emotion that flares up from time to time, as though God had temper tantrums; it is a way of describing his absolute enmity against all wrong and his coming to set matters right.”

James Packer . . .

“Moral indifference would be an imperfection in God, not a perfection. And not to judge the world would be to show moral indifference.”

Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy.

"The bowls [judgment] are...the natural, automatic reflux of holiness."

The Seven Seals -- 1/4

The Seven Trumpets -- 1/3

The Seven Bowls -- no fractions

Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name?

“[Many of the words about hell found in the Bible] are all straight from Jesus' lips. And they're a loving warning to us. The reason Jesus talked about hell is because he does not want people to go there. The reason Jesus died was so that people wouldn't have to go there. The only way to get to hell is to trample over the cross of Jesus.”
