Battle is not Yours, it’s God’s

Tough questions:

• Does God care about innocent men, women, and children dying because of war?
• Is God an innocent bystander in conflict?
• Does a loving God initiate war or fight in battle?

Tough questions, yes; when our heart wants to see God as one who would not snuff out the lives of man and beast. In The Battle Is Not Yours, It’s God’s, author and pastor Roy Raymond Brown tackles the hard question of war in the Bible. He looks at God-commanded conflicts, examines Old Testament battles fought and won by God, and presents clear reasons why this happened. Brown’s conclusion: the sovereign God is still a loving God.
