Many times people say that the God of the Old Testament was all about judgment, that He was mean and angry. I’ve had people say that to me more than once. They look at the times where God would punish the people, or bring judgment and bondage, and focus there.
Then those same people look at God in the New Testament and say that He’s all about grace and love and forgiveness. And they focus only on the grace and forgiveness. They say that’s the God I want to serve. They look at God as a big cuddly teddy bear or something.
Which is true? Listen to the show for the answer!

I was at Disneyland yesterday and saw something that reminded me of the relationship that most believers have with God.
I was standing in line to go on a ride with Timothy and the Lovely Lady LeeAnn. Standing just behind us was a woman and a little boy who looked to be a year or two younger than Tim. Now, Tim is one of those kinds of people who can talk to just about anybody, so he struck up a little conversation with the boy. No big deal, happens all the time. Ordinarily I wouldn’t think anything at all about this, but there was something a little unique about this particular woman and boy.
