Zephaniah 3:1-8

Nation after nation were destroyed by God’s judgment, yet the peoples continued to walk in corruption, never fearing his great wrath.  Therefore he made a decision.  He will gather all the nations and assemble all the kingdoms for one great day of judgment.  On that day he will pour out his anger, and they will all be consumed. 

Fortunately, the prophets also teach that God is gathering a people to himself from among the nations, and assembling them from among the kingdoms. Which assembly are you in?

LORD, we accept your grace, and the atoning death of Christ.  Gather us to your assembly for life, not death.
