THE BATHWATER BUT NOT THE BABY

In a war in 1675*, a good man named John Eliot was going to feed and clothe some Indians stranded on an island, but some religious Puritans smashed his boat to pieces!

Sadly, we could multiply examples of so-called godly people committing hateful atrocities — history is littered with them.

And the temptation is to throw the baby out with the bathwater and give up on God Himself. But God never approves of sin — listen to this strong condemnation in the Bible: “When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide My eyes from you; Yes, even though you multiply prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are covered with blood” (Isaiah 1:15).

God. Hates. Sin.

So please, don’t you give up on God just because others who claim to be godly don’t follow His instruction.

God is and God helps. And message me to find out more about studying the Bible!
