Vengeance is Mine by Don Campbell

Luke 6:27-28

We can trust God with Injustice, because God is the God of Vengeance.
No, that’s the God of the Old Testament
  • Malachi 3:6 – I the Lord do not change - also Will a man rob God?
  • Hebrews 13:8 – the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever

No, you say, God is the God of Love. Yes, and more...
Vigilante Vengeance – action
Vindictive Vengeance – attitude

Lev. 19:18 - Do not seek revenge (action ) or bear a grudge (feelings)

God has a plan
It’s God’s prerogative

Will a man rob God? If you take revenge or harbor vengeance in your heart…you rob God of what is His…Vengeance is MINE says the Lord.

Tomorrow is the day of justice.
Today is the day of mercy.

Matt. 5:7 – Blessed are the merciful for they will be shown mercy – axiomatic
James 2:12-13 – judgment without mercy to anyone who has not been merciful.

God will avenge at the Best Time. There is a day coming and it is circled in red….the day of vengeance the day of the Lord.

Rev. 14:17 – the wine press of God’s wrath
2 Thess. 1:6 – not two God’s – I the Lord do not change

Feel like you have suffered injustice? Take your injustice to the foot of the cross and see how small it is compared to the injustice Jesus suffered because of your sin.

Shepherding a Child's Heart by Don Campbell

We must shepherd their thoughts, helping them learn DISCERNMENT and WISDOM (God’s Wisdom).

Our goal is not just to have well behaved children but they need to know WHY they sin and HOW to recognize spiritual change in their lives.

It involves an investment of your life in your child’s life. It requires open and honest communication that reveals the meaning and purpose of life.

Values are not taught...they are caught. The shepherd doesn’t say to the sheep, "go up that hill"...the shepherd walks up the hill and the sheep follow.


Proverbs 13:20 - Who they hang around is who they will become

John 13:3-5

Ephesians 6:4 - nurture and admonition

When the Godly are Foolish by Daryl Greer

I Chronicles 21:1-30

As we grow older we automatically grow up

The longer we walk with the Lord the more we are guaranteed immunity from sin.

We will never be immune from sin's appeal.

Today's Take-a-ways
  • To live an unaccountable life is to flirt with danger
  • To ignore sin's consequences is utterly selfish
  • To raise a temple from the ashes of failure is a glory to God.
