God's wrath on America?
We too often have a simplistic understanding of sin and judgement. This understanding is true as far as it goes, and is consistent with the teaching of Scripture that a man reaps what he sows. But Scripture also encourages us to think past this point. It is also true that a man reaps while he sows.
Douglas Wilson
Our tendency is to think that if we do thus and such, then at some future date we will receive a recompense. This is true. The Bible teaches that every idle word will be considered in the judgement. It is appointed to man once to die, and after this the judgement for deeds done in the body, whether good or evil.
