Crime calls for an avenger. That’s the civil magistrate’s role as God’s minister. He is not to rehab criminals, but to bear the sword against them as a terror to evildoers (Rom. 13:3-4). So, when a man commits murder, for example, his life should be forfeit (Gen. 9:6). And justice should be swift. When it’s not, lawlessness explodes, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set to do evil” (Eccles. 8:11). When civil rulers coddle criminals, they despise God’s Word, and nations crumble. Only by acting as righteous avengers will they reverse this trend and fill their God-given role.

Civil Gov – Avenger of Wrath – What about Capital Punishment?

How should we dress as Christians? What&rsquo;s our duty with the tithe? And how do we tame our unruly tongues?&nbsp;
These are just three of many practical issues Scott Brown will address in his new podcast, Scripture Applied.&nbsp;
Approximately five minutes in length, these short takes are designed to bring God&rsquo;s Word to bear on a variety of important subjects. Drawing from sound exposition, Scott will give key scriptural insights designed to convict, instruct, and equip believers in their walk (2 Tim. 3:16-17).&nbsp;
Scripture Applied is based on the truth that God&rsquo;s Word is sure and sufficient (Ps. 119:89; 2 Tim. 3:16-17), having transforming power to save and guide us with the Holy Spirit&rsquo;s aid (Heb. 4:12; Ps. 119:105; 1 Cor. 2:14). As such, we must embrace this life-nourishing testimony to joyfully thrive with strength and wisdom (Deut. 8:3; Ps. 19:7-11). &nbsp;
The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul;&nbsp;&nbsp; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;&nbsp; The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;&nbsp;&nbsp; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;&nbsp; The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever;&nbsp;&nbsp; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.&nbsp; More to be desired are they than gold,&nbsp;&nbsp; Yea, than much fine gold;&nbsp;&nbsp; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.&nbsp; &nbsp;Moreover by them Your servant is warned,&nbsp;&nbsp; And in keeping them there is great reward. (Ps.19:7-11)&nbsp;
