  1. The Greatest Pardon Ever Offered

    The Greatest Pardon Ever Offered — a word by Pastor Bill Young from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "Don’t reject the greatest pardon God has ever offered. Receive it. The Judge Himself has signed it in the blood of His own Son."

    Every once in a while, history gives us a story so powerful that it almost sounds like someone made it up.

    Even so, George Wilson did the unthinkable.

  2. Justice

    Justice – a word by Pastor Billy Johnson from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "we have an eternal future to worship Him in resurrected bodies that aren’t burdened by sin, All because He loved us enough to demand justice."

    God does not turn a blind eye to injustice. To my shame, I can wrongly assume that if justice isn’t served immediately, justice won’t be served at all. As a result, I mistake God’s grace or patience as “looking the other way” when a sin is committed against Him or His creation. I am wrong. God does not “look the other way” when we sin or are sinned against. He doesn’t let anything slip through the cracks. Surely, there is no statute of limitations with God. 

    Next time you question His goodness (or His seemingly slow timing) remember this. God is our judge; we are not His. Indeed, it is sinful for us to judge Him. He is slow to anger, but this does not mean He will let sin and evil prevail.
