Michael points out one of the most crucial issues
facing Christianity today…one that is barely known, and less addressed:
humanism. So many Believers live in humanism that they miss God at almost every
turn.

Why Does a God Of Love Kill So Many?
Then the Lord said to
Job, “Will the faultfinder contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves God
answer it.”
--Job 40:1 & 2
Why did the God of love kill so many in the Old
Testament? The answer is hard to believe, because we have been so indoctrinated by
humanism, but the answer is quite simple: He did it for love. How could
God’s actions not be consistent with His love? Everything He does is an expression of His character.
If there were an option better than the loving act of killing, God would have
taken it. I personally have seen people so given over to sin that they were at
the point at which death would have been a welcomed relief as an escape from
the bondage. Once the heart is revealed and there is no desire for repentance,
each day remaining in sin on earth only adds to the judgment to come. Would it
not be gracious of a heavenly Father to take this life and stop the sin? Sin is unnatural and makes man
miserable. God can stop our misery by having us turn to Him, and He can
also stop our misery by taking our earthly life. We must ask ourselves an
important question: What
is the purpose of life if it is lived in sin? Is a life lived in sin really
life? Love, love,
love, God is truly love.

When a Believer lives in humanism, the
actions of God are missed, mistaken, or misunderstood. Therefore, it is easy to see how so many
question the love of God when it
comes to some actions He takes that they don’t think (since they are thinking as they are god,
humanism) God could or would do something like kill.
Michael gives us the perfect answer:
Everything God does is an expression of His character. He is Love.
He cannot act apart from Himself/Love.
Well, amen.
And Michael brings this “Old Testament issue”
to real life today. It will do all
Believers well to soak on what Michael shows us about things he has seen and
tried to show many.
