Passionate Theology Moments Ep. 3 #shorts London's Lamentations by Thomas Brooks

Here I stand. Today on Passionate Theology Moments, we are going to be reading an excerpt from Thomas Brooks' work called

London's Lamentations concerning the Great Fire of London in 1966. Thomas Brooks writes,

A serious commemoration of God's judgment is a thing that is highly pleasing to the

Lord. God delights as much in the glory of His justice as He does in the glory of His mercy and the glory of His grace.

When we commemorate His judgments, we glorify His justice that has inflicted them.

Severe judgments contribute much to the enlightening of men's understandings and to the awakening of their consciences and to the reforming of their lives and to workmen to judge them and justify the

Lord. And therefore, it highly concerns you to keep up the remembrance of London, the desolation by fire always fresh and flourishing in your souls.

Smart judgments are teaching things. All God's rods have a voice.

Thanks so much for spending this Passionate Theology Moment with us.
