"Sinners in the Hands of a Merciful God" (Ezekiel 3:23, 32)

I used to follow the tenets of Calvinist theology to the point where I became a legalistic Pharisee, especially when it came to the "predestined" fate of the wicked. This idea was challenged when I read God's assessment of the wicked and their destiny. He calls on everyone to repent and place their faith in Christ in order to be redeemed, and He takes no pleasure in seeing the results of rejecting Christ.
