Continuing through Acts verse by verse.--So here again we see Paul before the magistrates. In contact with the magistrates. When the Lord spoke to Paul He said there would be no harm to him - but that did not mean there wouldn't be difficulties. But notice here - no harm did come to him- Here we see the interposition of the magistrates on behalf of Paul- The magistrate keeps Paul from harm.----And this was huge. Had Gallio sided with the Jews - scholars point out that this would have slowed the preaching of the Gospel for the next 10-12 years. Then there was a change in Roman rule under Nero decidedly against Christians. But those 10-12 years running up till then would have been decidedly different. Gallio was held in esteem - had his judgment gone against Paul - all other proconsuls would hear of his verdict on this - and they too would have made things hard on the Christians. Because of the interposition of this proconsul - the Christian faith was given liberty to be proclaimed.----This demonstrates once ag

Starting verse by verse through Malachi.--Understand, when men have more fealty, honor, and reverence for human authority than they do for the Lord and His authority - all of society is in jeopardy.----By their bogus form of religion, the priests were teaching the people to have more fealty, honor and reverence for the civil authorities than they had for the Lord Himself - from whom the civil authorities derive their authority.----And so the churchmen in our day have taught Americans the same thing - they have taught the people to have more fealty, honor, and reverence for human civil authority than for the Lord Himself.----When you speak of the doctrine of the lesser magistrates, the worthless churchmen say -Oh, you don't respect authority.- No - it's precisely the fact that we do respect authority that we understand the abuse of authority must be confronted.----You must understand - without a valid doctrine of authority, order will not stand in society. We now live in a lawless state.--37 min. MercySeat.net

Here is something I want you to ponder -- if Rome tolerated so many odd and weird religions -and Rome did- -- why did Rome persecute the Christians so heavily and view Christianity as a threat---Ponder that. --I submit to you that it was because the early Christians held to and practiced the immanence of Christ's rule in the earth -- that the Roman establishment found Christianity intolerable and a threat.--Understand what I am saying -- Christianity holds to the transcendence of God - but not to the exclusion of divine immanence in the earth. As Christ Himself taught us to pray -- thy kingdom come, they will be done on earth as it is in heaven. His kingdom impacts the kingdoms of the earth. His kingdom impacts individuals and nations. Confronts the evils, idols, and tyrants of the day. Confronts the status quo and pagan thought. In all areas of life -- ethics, law, economics, etc.--Christianity teaches the transcendence of God, but not to the exclusion of divine immanence in the earth and THIS is what made C

During the Apostle Paul's time, the family in the Roman world was fractured. Historians tell us that divorce had exploded- adultery was rampant- and childlessness prevailed.--Homosexuality - pervasive and widespread.--Sexual immorality of all kinds - pervasive and widespread.--Sociologists tell us that the culture was atomistic. In other words - the individual - his happiness- his desires- his wants - were paramount - the world revolved around the individual. - family was trampled.--MEism and the individual reigned supreme.--And yet, Paul doesn't set up a church that is appealing to millennials, or yuppies, or dinks or even generation Z. Rather he appeals to the Colossians to embrace Christianity. To embrace God's created order. To embrace God's created design for man. To marry. To have children. To build a home. To establish a family.--Radical. Counter-revolutionary stuff to the culture in Colosse. 39 min. MercySeat.net

This sermon was preached on Sunday, the 4th of July, 2021.----Nations should cherish liberty and it is Christ and Christianity that brings liberty to men and nations. True liberty comes to nations that honor His law and word in their polity and policies.----But America has lost her way. Her laws, policies, and court opinions spit in the face of Christ and impugn God's law and word. So while Americans are sold license disguised as liberty and think they are free - they are slaves to sin - and this makes them slaves to the state.----Culture is religion externalized. And atheistic cultures most always turn into statist cultures. They make the state god. Atheistic cultures end up as statist totalitarian hells or hedonistic sewers - or both. America is both.----But Christian men and Christianity produces something far different.----We as Christian men understand and cherish liberty more than all other men. And why is that- It is because liberty is rooted in our religion - unlike the religion of the atheist. Our d

The monolithic centralized state views the decentralized family - as a threat.--Therefore the state wants to control and subjugate the family to the state through law and policy and court opinion.----This is a huge tenant of Marxism which views the family to be a major pillar of bourgeois society. To them - family must be subjugated by the state.----The family is an institution ordained by God and is not to be controlled by the state. Family is its own government separate from the state - and in fact - civil government is an extension of family government.----And men have a duty to protect their homes from the attacks and invasions of the state into their domestic affairs. -----We currently live in a statist hell which through law and policy has emasculated men- undermined their authority- taken their responsibility- stripped them of their duties- belittled, sequestered, neutralized, weakened, and tamed them for the state's ends. 39 min.
