Blessings and Judgment

Kerby Anderson — Is God blessing America? Will God bring judgment against America? These are questions I often hear, and yet rarely do we hear good answers to these questions. Part of the reason is that Christians haven’t really studied the subject of blessings and judgment.

In this article we deal with this difficult and controversial subject. While we may not be able to come to definitive answers to all of these questions, I think we will have a better understanding of what blessings and judgment are from a biblical perspective.

When we think about this topic, often we are in two minds. On one hand, we believe that God is on our side and blessing us. After the attacks on 9/11, for example, we launched a war on terror and were generally convinced that God was on our side. At least we hoped that He was. Surely God could not be on the side of the terrorists.

"Over the years I have heard many people make dogmatic statements about blessing or judgment. Some say that God has blessed the United States as evidenced by our prosperity and freedom. Others argue that God is bringing judgement against America because of our sins. In this radio program we look at the principles of blessing and judgment found in the Bible in order to clear up the confusion."
