Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 7
LESSON 7: GOD IS MERCIFUL, BUT THE DEBT OF SIN CANNOT GO UNPAID
According to God’s justice, we are each given exactly what is due to us. That, in fact, is the bad news that makes the “good news” so good. God is righteous, perfectly so, and as such cannot violate his own character. Justice is simply God carrying out His righteousness. God does not do what is righteous but rather, what God does is righteous because God did it. This is an important distinction if we are to avoid confusing the issue with our human ideas of “fairness.”

Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 6
LESSON 6: GOD IS ALWAYS WITH US – YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CAN’T HIDE
The Bible clearly teaches that God is ever present. Whether He is present to bless, present to punish, or present to sustain, there is no hiding from God and no point in trying. Just ask Jonah, or David, or Adam for that matter. This simple truth about God should be a warning to the evil doer and a matter of great joy, comfort and even motivation to the believer. This motivational effect will be our focus here.
The 17th century Puritan minister and theologian Stephen Charnock puts it much more eloquently than I.

Family Quest: Kaboom! Lesson 5
LESSON 5: THE GOOD, THE BAD, AND THE UGLY
Being sold into slavery…good or bad? Being chased by a mad King…good or bad? Losing everything you own or hold dear in an utter catastrophe…good or bad?
How many trials and tribulations have you suffered through only to see, on the other side, the good that God intended?
“Natural” forces, life and death, peoples’ hearts, fertility, nations, leaders, battles, good, evil…Who is in control? Is anyone in control of all of these? If so, who and what does it mean to me?
