Word of the Week
“SHA-MAR” is the Hebrew word for “protect”
This Hebrew word is used throughout the Old Testament and can also be translated as “keep” or “guard.” This is the word used in Genesis 4:9 when Cain says to God “Am I my brother’s keeper (shamar)?” and the word used in Psalm 121:4 which says “Behold, He who keeps (shamar) Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.”

(re: justice)*
"There is no truer statement that this: God is never wicked or unjust. He alone has authority over the earth and dispenses justice for the world" ~ Job 34:12-13 (TLB)
To question why the unrighteous aren't punished by God is to question his wisdom. After all, this life is the only heaven they will ever experience.
