The pastoral epistles first and second Timothy and Titus explicitly teach us that God has decreed that we his church would live in times marked by escalating sin, rebellion, and godlessness. In latter times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teaching of demons through the insincerity of liars whose conscience is seared. However, Christ is our head and He is maturing us through His people His gifts and His providential rule. Nothing can separate us from God’s love!

Do you know how we might think about the government in relationship to the church in our age? The past 4 years has made us think about this relationship due to the challenges governments have made upon Christians and Churches. In this episode Pastor Will gives 6 aspects of Christian citizenship. Each one of us should clearly understand our obligation before God whether we live in a nation that comes to confess Christ as Lord explicitly in willful submission or if it comes to continue waring against the son… We are commanded to be citizens of God‘s kingdom while also being citizens of our earthly nation.

God in one single act decreed all that happened in creation, predestination, and province before time. Might we also include the doctrine of divine decree as we consider our nation’s birth 247 years ago. Along with all those soldiers, citizens and their children’s lives for these colonies declare their independence from England as a nation.

The perfection of our God is a being immutable, he does not change. God is all that is in God and he will never be less than what he is, and this includes his Immutability. Gods independence and immutability is our stability, our immutable and independent God steadies us in our ever-changing lives.

Christ first endured the cross and wore the thorns and then he received the glory and wore the crown. We must not skip the Broccoli for the crème Brûlée. We need to keep God’s menu order for redemption straight and not drive into the ditch of an over realized eschatology. God’s order of redemption requires we follow the order he established. This means we will suffer in this life as Christians and then we will come to live with him forever in the new heavens and new earth. If we inverse this order we can run into significant problems. Join us as we address these issues. First the Cross then the Crown.

There is great encouragement for Christians that suffer through pain. Join us today to understand how the Spirit intercedes on our behalf, through our suffering.
