2 Peter 3:1-10
Back in the day, in the late 60's won the Heisman Trophy in 1968, had an NFL career from 1969 to 1979. He's the first man to ever rush for 2,000 yards in a season, others have done it but they didn't do it in 14 games like O. J. did.

J. being the killer of Nichole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, and you know we look at things like that and there's just something within us, that says, ''Where's the justice?''
Now you can argue with me about the guilt or innocence of those two people but here's the point, as it says in the book of Malachi, ''Where is the God of justice?'' There are people in our world and we see them and it looks like they're getting away with wrong, it looks like they're getting away with sin, it looks like in some cases, they're even getting away with murder. And for a person who has a sense of righte ...
