C. S. Lewis writes with great insight in the Chronicles of Narnia when he quips that “Aslan is no tame lion.” A tame animal has had danger trained out. A tame animal becomes a servant, a domestic, to man. But God is not our servant, we are His. Our God is a controversialist. He is a God who confronts. He confronts us as a loving Father or else He will confront us as an offended judge. If you want a tame God or a God that will not confront you, then you are not looking for the God of the Bible. The prophet Micah’s name means, “who is like the Lord.” And this is the theme of his prophecy. Micah reveals a God who confronts, who convicts and who comforts with the gospel. Join Pastor Wheeler as he examines Micah’s prophecy of a Controversial God.
