God of Love, God of Judgement part 2 - Michael Ramsden, RZIM

True love doesnt exist in the absence of judgement, it only exists in the presense of it. The words "i love you" are meaningful only when the person who speaks them truly knows you. (not the image of you, the mask, but rather, the reality of you)
When there isn't anyone that truly knows you, with your good traits and your bad, you're in a very lonely position. -Michael Ramsden for RZIM
If you've never known truth, you've never known Love. -Black Eyed Peas Where Is The Love?

These tidbits came from an interesting message by Michael Ramsden, filling in for Ravi Zacharias aired on 3/29/11.  Ramsden speaks about the alleged discrepancy that God seems all about judgment in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible whereas He is about Love and mercy in the New Testament.  You can listen to the broadcast online here. Or go to RZIM.org  and look in the section called "Just Thinking" and you'll find it among the archives of MP3.
