Hi Fred, I so enjoy reading your articles and Website. I purchased your book, “The Axe Laid to the Root,” and it is excellent. Thank you for your ministry.
I have a question. Norman Grubb often said that God never gets angry and that, we, as sinful mankind, only interpret God as angry. However, how do we account for all of the Scriptures in the Old Testament that talk about the wrath of God and that God was bringing judgment (i.e., Sodom and Gomorrah, many passages in Ezekiel, etc.)? How do we make sense of the Book of Revelation, which also outlines God’s wrath and judgment at the end of time? Furthermore, some are saying God will soon release his wrath and judgment on America. To me, it seems God gets angry and sends judgment, but perhaps I missing the point. Thank you.
Hi Jim, I’ve just read yours for the first time. Thank you for your compliments. I appreciate your input and also your question which is about issues that get to things that are at greater depths than we often go. So give me a couple days at least and I’ll reply in full. I look forward to our sharing together.
All blessings to you!

Jim, did I ever reply to this? I’m sorry if I haven’t. Questions come every day and sometimes I miss somebody. Anyway, if I haven’t replied, I would like to because your question is very valid that lots of people are wondering about. Thanks!
Never mind. Looks like I did respond with a 4 part series, called “Where’s the Wrath?” See!? My memory is fried! But the Spirit gets me through anyway!
Hi Fred, lol! That’s fine—I know you are busy, and it’s hard to remember everything. I really do appreciate your ministry. I read many of your writings and am always blessed by them. And I was thrilled and honored that you responded to my question with that wonderful series. If you are ever visiting Pittsburgh, PA, let me know. I would love to meet you. God bless you. Jim
Fred, comment on a passage from Philippians 2: 12. As it is, to attain salvation. Thank you.
Hello, Alex, I’ll try to get to it soon.

Hi Jim, I just completed part one of my reply to you. I decided to make it a full post since everybody else asks those same questions. Here is the link: https://thesingleeye.wordpress.com/2017/06/12/wheres-the-wrath-part-one/
