He does not retain his anger\n             forever, because he delights in steadfast love.\n             (ESV)\n\n        The prophet Micah, who lived about seven hundred years\n   before Christ, posed a very interesting question.\n        Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing\n        over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance?\n        He does not retain his anger forever, because he\n        delights in steadfast love.\n\n\n        There are many entities who claim to be a god, who demand\n   our time, talent, and treasure.  They make demands for sacrifice\n   and specific clothing and specific actions.  These gods have\n   rules, and the only way to appease such a god is to perfectly\n   follow each dictate, both in letter and spirit.  Because\n   following such a god requires introspection, there is little time\n   to see the needs of our neighbor, to show love to others.\n\n        But the Triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy\n   Spirit, the God as revealed in the Bible, is not like that.  From\n   the moment that sin entered the world, He promised to redeem His\n   people.  Only the Triune God delights in showing love, grace, and\n   mercy.  His love is everlasting, His anger over sin is for but a\n   moment.\n\n        This is why we accept His invitation go enter into His\n   presence, to receive this gift of love and redemption.  If you\n   hear anything beyond salvation from sin and death because of\n   God's undeserved love for the sake of the death and resurrection\n   of Jesus Christ, you are not in a truly Christian church.  For\n   God pardons iniquity and passes over transgression because the\n   Son of God paid the price of our sin.  That is the truth of the\n   Bible, the word of the prophet Micah.\n\n        May our Lord grant us the comfort of knowing His love.\n   Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>June 18, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1990"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1991,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1990\/revisions\/1991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
