Title - Does God Punish?
Church - Living Word Lutheran in Katy, Texas (ELCA)
Author - Pastor Mike Aus
Quality -Good quality.
Summary -This sermon asks the question: does God punish us? When something bad happens, is it because of some sin we've committed? Pastor Mike attacks this kind of reasoning, pointing out that Jesus himself says that God's rain and the sun visits both the good and the bad. God constantly intervenes to protect us, but God will not always enable us to do that which is harmful to ourselves and others. We should also be wary of thinking that just because we're faithful good things will always happen to us, this implies that when bad things happen to others it means they're not faithful enough.
