I recently ran across this article in Christianity Today magazine. It lined up so well with what I have been writing about I wanted to use it as a Reflection. Unfortunately the CT copyright will not allow me to include the entire article, but I did receive permission to send you a few lines and include a link... I pray you can receive this and that it will minister to your heart. See you next week. Shalom - Mike

The Grace of Wrath
Is there any story about God that isn't a love story?
By Carolyn Arends

When Evan Almighty hit theaters last summer, some evangelicals worried that elements of the movie were sacrilegious. One of their particular objections got me thinking.

In the film, God (played by Morgan Freeman) claims that people miss the point of the story of Noah's Ark because they think it's about God's anger, when really it's a "love story." Some Christians saw that statement as an offensive distortion of the Genesis account of God's wrath. Their protest left me pondering what I suspect is a fundamentally important question: Is there any story about God that isn't a love story? (click here to read the rest of the article)
