God's Anger On Display Romans 1:18-32 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;‌.when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imagination, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. In light of the recent natural disaster that occurred in a place out of the norm according to man, but these occurrences are under God's command and control as the Bible spoke of such occurrences in different places and times. Our scripture text makes a profound statement of why God's anger is on display because of sin and unrighteousness. God is revealing His anger from the heavens in many different ways, such as torrent heat, storms, sand storms, earthquakes, tornados and hurricanes. In a sailor's terminology God is sending warning shots across the bow of humanity and if we fail to get His message and repent, then judgment is certain. His judgment is going to be swift and harsh because God cannot and neither will He continue tolerating the ungodliness we see in today's society. Get right and adhere to God's warning. Scriptures has recorded for our benefit of God's actions against prolonged sin and wickedness; remember the flood during Noah's days. These questions come to mind, Do we feel the Bible is just a love story? Do we believe the events actually occurred as written in the Bible? Do we in today's society feel we are exempt from God's judgment? Has self-wisdom caused us to become foolish in our own thinking believing that the natural disasters are just the forces of nature? Nature is under God's control too. Let me close this discussion by saying, God is angry; it's time to repent and turn back to God.
