Hank directs us to Isaiah’s warning to the Babylonians about astrologers and stargazers: “Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame.” “All of them go on in their error; there is not one that can save you.” Hank also answers the following questions: Does God motivate us by love or anger?
