How Should Christians Respond to the Riots? Dr. John MacArthur

Dr. MacArthur clarified biblical Christian values, and reminded Christians of their priorities in the midst of this cultural chaos; he called them back to a position of faith: trusting in God and His sovereignty, instead of what they are seeing.  

During his sermon, I discovered that appearances had indeed, distracted and distressed me; and caused me to feel powerless; that is, I was focused on “fixing” this sin-sick world; something that, I had temporarily forgotten, only God can do, according to the Bible.

He also reminded Christians that we are called to be ambassadors: to be reconciled to God and to enable others to be so too, via the gospel.

Dr. MacArthur used many passages of scripture to bring listeners back to resting in faith and not in sight.

The sermon is highlighted below. But you cannot be blessed by merely reading these highlights.

If you have been distressed by the lawlessness of the rioters and the weak response of governors and mayors; if you feel powerless and are struggling with what you might personally do to restore order, how you should vote, whether you should buy a gun…then this sermon may enable you to again rest in God and His promises (which is possible if you are truly born again).

Therefore, this sermon is very much worth listening to carefully, possibly noting and meditating upon.

Sermon Highlights:

Again, my words cannot bless you like Dr. MacArthur’s sermon; he used more scripture than he typically does in a sermon.

Have your Bible nearby as you will want to follow along by hearing the scriptures he reads and unpacks, regarding these times.

 

 

The recent post on social justice and the gospel is also highly worthy of hearing as the members of the panel bring to light some deeper matters about BLM and the trendy church, issues that most have not considered.

That is, all the men on the panel have been studying social justice for a long time, 20 years or so for most, and have come to some deep insights about it; furthermore, these men are all seasoned pastors or Christian educators…and have a deep understanding of the Bible, the Christian worldview and the obedient Christian life; therefore, their insights are highly worthy of hearing if you want to continue in your walk with the Lord as an obedient servant of the Lord; and not be distracted, distressed and derailed into inactivity in your Christian life.

The above sermon and the discussion panel post, bolster one another.

For other posts in this blog about progressives; Marxists; paganism…see, Categories: Progressive Govt. / Socialism / Communism; Propaganda Exposed; Paganism / Neo-Paganism; and examine the topics in Categories for other concerns and interests.

The series on Paganism in this blog examines how the satanist, Aleister Crowley and several other key figures in the 20th century worked successfully to morally erode society; via the sexual revolution; the drug revolution; opposition to Christianity, etc.

See the first two posts for foundational information about the harmful impact of the resurgence of Paganism, via Crowley’s movement. But other posts indicate that the sacrament of this emerging Paganism is androgyny; that is, the sexual revolution, the LGBTQ revolution is going to end in androgyny. 

The series is an effort to articulate some of the ideas in the book by Dr. Peter Jones: The Other Worldview: Exposing Christianity’s Greatest Threat.
