Christ Fellowship

Have you ever watched evil people get ahead in life and wonder, "where is God in this?" The dishonest coworker gets the promotion. The jerk keeps winning. The corrupt politician escapes jail time. If God is just, why would he allow these things to happen? The Israelites in Malachi's day were asking these same questions while exiled in captivity. They're supposed to be God's people, so how could he tolerate so much evil done against them? In Malachi 3, God promises a time when they'll be made new again, when those who do blatant evil against others finally face judgement. His words serve both as an encouragement and a challenge to those who underestimate their own offenses against God.
