Discussion question for June 30, 2023

Jeremiah asked: “Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all who are treacherous thrive?” in Jer 12:1, and the Psalmist asks the same questions regarding the wicked, evildoers, and corrupt rulers (Ps 94).   Why doesn’t God render justice against corrupt politicians?  Why does He allow disgusting ideologies to be promoted in our country and in our educational systems?  What should be our Christian response to these attacks against morality?  Why doesn’t God use His sovereignty to wipe out our enemies? How is our time similar or dissimilar to the ancient Israelites? What emotional response is appropriate to this conflict? What does Go want us to do about it? How does 2 Pet 3:8-9 influence your thinking?
