Should We Pray for God’s Judgment on Putin?

Episode 923 Show Notes

From the Show

It is really important to understand the context of the psalms of imprecation. Those prayers were made against those who were attacking God’s covenant people. And while we may do that as the church, we are also called to pray for mercy.

Should We Pray for God’s Judgment on Putin?

Questions in this Episode

1. Why don’t we see God intervening and helping those in Ukraine?
   
2. I know the Bible says to “love your enemies,” but when do we get to pray the Imprecatory Psalms? I am very angry with Putin for what he has done. I have prayed for his salvation, but I am not sure what to do right now.
   
3. Does 1 Timothy 4:1-16 imply that we can lose our faith?
   
4. I have family that I know believes in Jesus, but only go to church when we ask them to join us. It seems like they believe but there seems to be very little relationship with Jesus and doesn’t appear that they hold onto Him with trust for everything in their lives. I know we can’t judge their hearts, but I worry that I won’t see them in heaven.
   
5. I have heard you say that Paul’s comments about head coverings in 1 Corinthians 11 are only for for the Corinthian church in the Bible. But if God inspired all of Scripture, how can it’s passages not be universal commands?
