Blood Brothers

J. Stephen Lang

2008: On this date Pastor Samuel Nayak stood at the entrance of his church in Orissa state, India, attempting to block the path of several hundred Hindu radicals. They slit his throat, left him for dead, and destroyed the church.

Protestants were brutally murdered and their homes and shops pillaged.

Marriage And Carnage

J. Stephen Lang

The mass killing began early on August 24 which in the Catholic calendar is St. Bartholomew’s Day, so the bloodbath is known as the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre.

1 Timothy 1:15: “Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.”

Not To Be Muzzled

J. Stephen Lang

1531: In the Middle Ages most churches in Europe, especially the great cathedrals, had relics of some saint—these could be teeth, bones, pieces of clothing, a sword or axe by which the saint was martyred, and so forth.

Jesus Christ is in the Sight-Restoring Business.

The Blind Demoniac

David Jeremiah

Satan is in the Eye-Blinding Business. The Bible warns that the “god of this age” has blinded the minds of unbelievers “lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Every Christian is a steward of God—He has provided—we are to be faithful.

To Be Found Faithful

David Jeremiah

The earliest, and still the best, biblical example of a steward is Joseph—the favorite son of Jacob who was sold as a slave into Egypt by his jealous brothers. So rich was the blessing of God on Joseph that his Egyptian master, the wealthy Potiphar, made Joseph the overseer and manager (steward) of his entire household.

If we sow a godly action, we will reap a godly blessing.

God’s Harvest Law

David Jeremiah

Just as there are laws in the physical realm, so there are laws in the spiritual realm. One found in Galatians 6:7 is the universal Law of the Harvest: “… for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”

Certainly the fear of God includes awe and reverence, but it does not exclude literal holy terror.

The Truth of Love Needs the Truth of Wrath

John MacArthur

People often try to explain the sense of these verses away by saying that the “fear” called for is a devout sense of awe and reverence. Certainly the fear of God includes awe and reverence, but it does not exclude literal holy terror.

The expression of His wrath and the expression of His love are both necessary to display His full glory.

Love and Wrath Not at Odds

John MacArthur

God’s love cannot be isolated from His wrath and vice versa. Nor are His love and wrath in opposition to each other like some mystical yin-yang principle. Both attributes are constant, perfect, without ebb or flow. God Himself is immutable—unchanging.

He postpones His judgments against sin while pleading with sinners to repent.

God Is Love

John MacArthur

By saying “God is love,” the apostle is making a very strong statement about the character and the essence of God. It is God’s very nature to love—love permeates who He is. This statement, “God is love,” is so profound that no less than Augustine saw it as an important evidence for the doctrine of the Trinity.
