Discomfited by the Anger
| The Rev. Philip DeVaulDiscomfited by the Anger
We are so discomfited by the anger of God that we ignore what God is angry about. We are so overwhelmed by the possibility that God is right about us in these areas where we have fallen short of the love for which we were made. So we say, "well, I just can't hear what God saying because God's just being so bombastic. All of this language about fiery judgment and weeping and gnashing of teeth, I just can't hear what you're saying God. I need you to be nicer to me and then I can hear." We are tone policing our Lord and Savior.
