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

Details
Hits: 9723

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/)

Peter and the other apostles set the example: when told by authorities they could not testify to the risen and ascended Christ, they responded, "We must obey God rather than men" (Acts 5:29). So we know that Christians must not obey authorities when their command directly contradicts God and his revealed Word. This is the basis for Christian civil disobedience.

rushingriver1Another good sermon by Joe Gordon, youth pastor for Scottsdale Bible Church.

This is how one should regard us, as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.

Moreover it is required of stewards that they be found trustworthy.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself.

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

Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God.

On a recent Tuesday at noon, a dozen live-in home health aides - all from the Bronx - dialed a conference-call number.

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
