Delayed Judgement

In this episode we look at how the failure to execute justice speedily emboldens and encourages criminals. We look at how in the absence of punishment they set their sails to do wickedness. We look at the life of Joab and see how he fell prey to this ideology. After he killed Abner and seemingly got off scot-free he was emboldened to then kill Amasa, but eventually it caught up with him and he had to pay for his crimes. We look at why it seems there’s a delay in God’s judgment and why it’s so dangerous for us to embolden and encourage the enemy while we should instead be emboldening and encouraging ourselves and our fellow believers.
