Sermon: What God Judges

(Click HERE for MP3 sermon audio.)

Today's sermon is primarily from Daniel 5. The key texts are vv. 22-23.

Today's sermon can be seen as a continuation of the discussion on judgment from last week. Last week we observed that God does not pronounce judgment and condemnation upon individuals. This week we see how God's pattern throughout the Bible is to pronounce judgment against places, nations, and systems that are opposed to His nature of love and righteousness. We see how God always warns and always provides a means for individuals to leave the places that are the destinations of God's judgment.

In this sermon, I explore the primary reason why people choose to accept God's means of escape (salvation) and the primary reason why people choose to reject God's offered gift. The reasons are one and the same: love.
