[All day event] CHARITY is a thunderbolt
- Description:
- "For thou, O LORD, art good and forgiving, abounding in s teadfast love to all who call on thee." ~ Psalm 86:5
When it all comes down to it, this is the most astonishing fact about God: that he fo rgives and loves us. If that seems like a commonplace, then we haven't rea lly encountered God. As Peter Kreeft said long ago, that the "god" of feel -good religion should love us is a commonplace. What else should such a sim pering, nice, harmless fellow do His only creed is "Niceness is Nice" so of course he "loves" us. It's his duty. But that the real God loves us... t hat the power who hurled Andromeda and made the tiger and shatters the ceda rs with lightning... who was steeped in Eternity when the dinosaurs came an d went like a flash in the pan. That this God loves, us, forgives us, an d others his tender head about us to the degree that he is willing to be cr ucified for us; that is a thunderbolt. Rejoice in the glory and mercy of t hat Thunderbolt. ~ Dr. Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins
