Celebrating the Wrath of God - The Triumph of Trust

Lecture given Tuesday, February 19, 2002, 2:00 PM at Abilene Christian University: "These presentations claim that the wrath of God is another face of His holy love dealing with humanity's sin.

The wrath not only speaks of the sinfulness of our sin; it proclaims God's steadfast refusal to let us sink without trace. And since His loving wrath is so pervasive and relentless, it implies a glorious end that will "justify the means.""
