When We Suffer, When to Disobey-Tim Keller panel discussion

kell(the following is from Collin Hansen's blog at the Gospel Coalition: http://intelmin.org/2012/08/collin-hansen-when-we-suffer-when-to-disobey/)

I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me.

Righteousness, Temperance & Judgment by Martyn Lloyd-Jones

martyn_lloyd-jonesAfter some days Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish, and he sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.  And as he reasoned about righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix was alarmed and said, "Go away for the present. Acts 24
