God’s anger is different
Inspired by Novatian from 245 AD and a quick summary of Novatian’s thoughts on God’s anger. He makes a distinction between us and God on the issue of anger and warns us to be careful not to falsely equivocate the two. It shows that Christians of all ages have had similar struggles with various unpleasant aspects of God’s anger and yet found ways to think about it and rationally decide to trust God as opposed to not. Trust Jesus over whatever it is you are trusting over Him! He is more worthy of your trust than the others or even … Continue reading God’s anger is different

Pray!
EM Bounds quoting Moody! “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

Every evil is more easily conquered than pleasure; because, whatever it is, the former is repulsive, the … Continue reading The greatest pleasure

Be turned to God
Forsake the idols which human error has invented. Be turned to God, whom if you implore He will aid you. Believe in Christ, whom the Father has sent to quicken and restore us. Cease to hurt the servants of God and of Christ with your persecutions, since when they are injured the divine vengeance defends them. For this reason it is that none of us, when he is apprehended, makes resistance, nor avenges himself against your unrighteous violence, although our people are numerous and plentiful. Cyprian of Carthage. 1886. “An Adress to Demetrianus.” In Fathers of the Third Century: Hippolytus, … Continue reading Be turned to God
