The Moral Man\u2019s Treasure<\/a> (Rm 2.2-5<\/a>)<\/h5>\n

Paul continues to dismantle the justifications of the moral man by noting his agreement that God\u2019s judgement is according to righteousness, but then asking, if that is so, how the moral man presumes to escape God\u2019s judgement. Or, if that is not enough, does the moral man despise God\u2019s goodness and forbearance, presuming it means he has already escaped judgement? God\u2019s goodness and forbearance is intended to lead man to repentance – any rejection of God\u2019s blessing only serves to further build up the moral man\u2019s treasure \u2026 the wrath of God to be revealed in the day of wrath, the day of the revelation of God\u2019s righteous judgement.<\/p>\n

The call of this message is to those who think of themselves as \u2018good guys\u2019. The call is a call to repentance and faith in the only One who will enable escape from the wrath of God.<\/p>\n

The Nature of Demons<\/a><\/h5>\n

In which we consider the personality, intelligence [and strategems], morality, and powers of Satan\u2019s demons. Our study of these creatures is as a matter of considering the whole counsel of scriptures. We want to understand the Bible, not be obsessed with demonology.<\/p>\n

Father, save me from this hour<\/a> (Jn 12.27-28)<\/h5>\n

Our Lord’s prayer on this occasion is an example for us of following the Father’s will. The prayer of our title is not the prayer the Lord prayed. Rather, he prayed that the Father would glorify His name. There was much for the Lord to feel apprehensive about the Father’s will, but his resolution to follow it is the driving force of his whole ministry. If we would be his disciples, it must become the driving force of our lives and ministries as well.<\/p>\n

~~~<\/p>\n

Praise the Lord for another good day in his house. A few regulars missing. One of my sons was over preaching for my friend Darren Hammermeister<\/a> today. Two of our new families continue to attend, which is a great encouragement. We trust the Lord will continue to build his church.<\/p>\n
