GOD’S ANGER AT SIN
A poem by ILMA
God displays his anger from heaven against all wickedness
He doesn’t put up with any form of unrighteousness
Even though they knew God’s existence, they supress the truth
Despite the creations God made, they deny that it is all true.
God has manifested himself in everything he created on earth
There is no excuse to say God doesn’t exist yet they deny him
These people knew God, but they wouldn’t worship and give thanks
They began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like.
As a result of this denial, their minds became dark and confused
Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools
Instead of thanking and worshiping the glorious, ever-living God
They worshiped idols made to look like mere humans, birds and animals.
So, God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things they desired
As a consequence, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies
They traded the truth about God for a lie and worshiped God’s creations
God abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let do evil actions.

MEMORY VERSE
Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up of foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. – Romans 1:21
Read: Romans 1:18-32
Many people do not acknowledge “sin.” They try to call it weakness, mistakes, errors. There is no accountability to acknowledge their rebellion and foolish ways. This leads to more confusion and chaos. People have forgotten how God abhors sin.

REFLECTION
• How can God separate the person from the sin and still love each human being?
• Can you be able to love a person who continues to sin? How is that possible

AVOIDING GOD’S WRATH Poem Devotiional
November 29________________________________________
But he will pour out his anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the truth and instead live lives of wickedness. There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil. – Romans 2: 8-9(NLT)
AVOIDING GOD’S WRATH
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you stop when you realize that you are sinning?
Do you get bothered when you are constantly disobeying?
There will be trouble for those who choose evil and wickedness
The wrath of God will be inevitable to all the proud and the lawless.
We are made into God’s image and in his righteousness
Whenever we choose the opposite, we live in darkness
We can avoid God’s wrath by following his will and commands
It will surely help us navigate through life and all of its demands.

How can many Christians avoid the wrath of God? Do you realize that there is something that God hates? It is refusing to obey the truth and choosing to live lives that are evil and wicked. God loves all people but he doesn’t love it when they do evil purposely. We have a very forgiving and merciful father in heaven, but he also allows us to choose the right things and the truth. If we opt to do the wrong thing and continue to live in darkness, there will be consequences to these choices.
PRAYER
Lord, help me never to sin purposely and to repent and confess when I do.
REFLECTION
How can we avoid God’s wrath?
