God Is Weary

Introduction: We live in a world that wants to believe that God is always happy: He is pleased with everybody, and those perceived as evil, are really good (Malachi 2:17). Even the saved have become increasingly deceived by this philosophy. They flock to so-called churches hoping to hear something positive about God’s satisfaction with man, when, in reality, God is weary of putting up with what is going on.
