Before the flood God recognized the continual wickedness of man, and determined to bring judgment.

He will render to each one according to his works: to those who by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; but for those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. (Romans 2:6-8)

Honestly, it’s hard for me to imagine (and not just because they lived long before the proliferation of gunpowder)… especially when I am reading what they have to say to me, in the bible. However, it is becoming more and more common for people to “pack heat” in church. It seems that there [...]
