Today's Reading - April 5, 2010

Deuteronomy 28:1-68
Luke 11:14-36
Psalm 77:1-20
Proverbs 12:18


Question of the day: Does the Lord still punish those who "refuse to listen to the Lord your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees?"

While it is true that those who "refuse to listen to the Lord your God and do not obey all the commands and decrees" will face God's punishment, God's grace is freely given to anyone who will accept it through faith in Jesus Christ.

The Old Testament passage, however, makes it clear that God actively punished sin as it happened with the Israelites. When they worshipped other gods, the Lord turned his back on them, and when they followed him, he blessed them and protected them from their enemies.
