The Wrath of God – PT 2
While we might be tempted to ignore the reality of God’s wrath, the Scriptures make it difficult to deny its existence.

and all the wicked must drink it,
draining it to the dregs. – Psalm 75:8 NLT
“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot…

just thinking about how despite AtS trying to portray it as comedic bickering amongst bros, Spike actually has decades worth of reasons to hate Angel, while Angel has remarkably few reasons to hate Spike. And it should maybe be concerning that from School Hard on, Angel adopts an absolute "don't see what this has to do with me" reaction to him?

The Purposeful Suffering of Christ: A Look at Isaiah 53
It is in the understanding of the suffering and death of Christ that the sinner appreciates God’s great love and the price that was paid for our salvation. Christ suffered in our place, bearing the penalty that rightfully belongs to us. Scripture tells us that “Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God” (1 Pet 3:18a). Perhaps no section of…

‘ugh marinette shouldn’t have showed mercy and forgiven gabriel he wouldn’t have made the wish otherwise—‘ but that’s in her nature though. she would try and forgive her worst enemy if they wanted to atone and change. take all the people who have hurt her worst in the world, put them in a room, and she would shake all their hands if they said they were terribly sorry and wanted to be better. after all is said and done isn’t that her greatest tragedy? that her heart is so big and so vast that she would risk hurt and pain again and again and again… if it would make the world better. if it would make her loved ones safer. if she could hand out olive branches and not get snapped

have been having a disappointed expectations moment and my lent playlist was on and the lines on the bloody tree behold Him—sinner, will this not suffice? just hit me in a whole different way. how, how can I not be satisfied with that image—with perfect love given to me completely, when I had no expectation of it? what refreshment, what security, what sureness is there always to receive me!
