Weekly Words of Instruction

"If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword; He has bent His bow and made it ready, He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons; He makes His deadly arrows, fiery shafts," (Psalm 7:12-13 NASB). The Psalmist helps us to understand what our Lord said in Luke 13:3 "Unless you repent, you will perish." We are introduced to a person who obviously does not care about God's judgment, and is continuing in wickedness. God will justly punish the wicked for all that they have done (vs. 8-11). Each of us needs to realize the severity of God's judgment that we may better appreciate the opportunity that God has given to us to repent.

There are some who persist in doing evil and wonder why things do not go well with them. They fail to turn away from their wickedness when they continue in it again and again. How long is the Lord supposed to put up with them? The Psalmist says that God has made His weapons ready, and they are deadly. The evil that one persists in doing will come upon him (Psalm 7:16). Don't you get caught in God's line of fire. Repent while you have the chance! (Charles Spense of Atlanta, GA).

Hope to hear from you or to see you at the services.
