This lesson examines the theological danger of pragmatism, defining it as a relativistic worldview that prioritizes anticipated outcomes over divine command. By contrasting the failures of Saul, Aaron, and Jeroboam with the repentant heart of David, the teaching illustrates how pragmatic reasoning leads to idolatry, unauthorized worship, and the rejection of God's authority. The central argument asserts that when human convenience or political stability becomes the deciding factor in moral and spiritual choices, it results in a dead end of ethical compromise. The teacher emphasizes that true faithfulness requires submitting to God's Word, even when obedience carries a personal cost or seems impractical by worldly standards. Ultimately, the message calls for a return to Scripture as the sole standard for decision-making, rejecting the trap of self-determined morality.

What does it mean to be a citizen of heaven while living in a world consumed by politics? That question sits at the heart of one of the most dramatic courtroom scenes in all of Scripture. In Pastor Paul Chapman's message, Jesus and Politics: Citizens of Heaven in a World of Politics, we explore John 18, where Jesus stands before Pilate, the most powerful political figure in the region, and the exchange that follows gives us five grounding truths that are just as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago. We discover that the kingdom of Christ is spiritual in nature, not a political movement to be won or lost on election day. We are reminded that this does not excuse us from engagement, but rather calls us to a higher and more purposeful kind of involvement, one rooted in truth, conscience, and faith. The tension between Rome, the religious establishment, and the revolutionary spirit of the age mirrors the fractured political landscape we navigate today. And yet Jesus, standing at the center of all that chaos, is unshaken. His composure before Pilate is not passivity. It is the confidence of someone who knows that all authority ultimately flows from above. If we are wrestling with anxiety about the direction of our world, this passage offers us something no political platform ever could, a peace that comes from knowing who is truly on the throne.

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. (John 8:36) ~~~~~ Lord's Day afternoon service at Milward House Pilgrim Home with some 20 residents and several staff. ~~~~~ *1/ Who Jesus is speaking to - Believers, Abrahams seed. 2/ What he is speaking of - freedom. 3/ How freedom is found.* **Sermon summary:** The sermon explores the theological concept of true freedom as presented in John 8, arguing that genuine liberty is not merely a social or political state but a spiritual deliverance from sin, condemnation, and error. By drawing a parallel to the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, the message emphasizes that only the shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Passover Lamb, can break the bondage of sin. The text distinguishes between nominal belief and authentic discipleship, urging listeners to examine whether their faith is rooted in personal trust in Christ rather than religious heritage or self-righteousness. Freedom is found through continuing in God's Word, knowing the truth, and relying on the Son who has redeemed His people. The sermon concludes with the assurance that those whom the Son sets free are truly free to serve God, having been purchased by His grace.

This Week on "The Friends of Israel Today" Radio: Why do we support Israel? The reason goes beyond the nation's politics and values. Our support is rooted in God's covenant promises to Israel and the Jewish people in His Word. We open an important and practically equipping four-part series on the biblical case for Zionism this week by asking, "Has the church replaced Israel?" The Apostle Paul shouted the answer: "Certainly not!" (Romans 11:1). God has distinct purposes for the church and Israel, and He loves them both. Discover how Scripture gives us confidence in that truth today as you support God's Chosen People and worship our heavenly Father with your whole heart!

I hope I have made good my claim that N.T.Wright distorts the biblical doctrine of God as the God of judgment. Furthermore, that Wright, using this distortion, then distorts Christ‟s threeyear ministry and his crucifixion, and then distorts the ministry of the Spirit through believers during this present age. I am convinced that Scripture shows us that believers are called to preach the appeasement of the wrath of God against sinners and their sin by the propitiation Christ accomplished, with the aim of leading as many sinners as possible to trust Christ for their everlasting salvation, leading to a life of progressive sanctification and conformity to Christ. Wright‟s ministry of believers might be summed up as their engagement in a global, social new-creation project; in short, God will use them in schemes which will „put things right‟. To spell it out, this means believers are to be involved in merciful and compassionate schemes to deal with social injustice, rectify human abuses, heal the sick, engage in political acts to improve the lot of their fellow-humans, and look after the natural world, and the like.
