| cadea1b | Finally, this parable is a reminder that when we proclaim the gospel or teach the Word of God to our neighbors and loved ones, the results will always vary according to the condition of the hearts of our hearers. Success or failure does not hinge on our skill as sowers. Some of the seed we disperse will fall on hard, shallow, or weedy ground. But there's nothing wrong with the seed. If you are faithful at the task, some of the seed you thro.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

Y todo lo que hagais, hacedlo de corazon, como para el Senor y no para los hombres; sabiendo que del Senor recibireis la recompensa de la herencia, porque a Cristo el Senor servis. COLOSENSES 3.23-24 La Biblia condena la pereza, es escandalosa y pecaminosa. Proverbios tiene mucho que decir sobre esto (6.9-11; 10.5; 19.15; 21.25; 24.30-34), incluyendo el contraste de la pereza con la diligencia. <|

| 0f48834 | The results of that charismatic takeover have been devastating. In recent history, no other movement has done more to damage the cause of the gospel, to distort the truth, and to smother the articulation of sound doctrine. Charismatic theology has turned the evangelical church into a cesspool of error and a breeding ground for false teachers. It has warped genuine worship through unbridled emotionalism, polluted prayer with private gibberis.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| 8288a6e | This is why Peter explained that the purpose of sanctification is so that a believer is ready to evangelize at a moment's notice. He writes, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear" (1 Pet. 3:15)." | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 45543db | Paul suffered and struggled mightily in the service of his faith. Perhaps you could argue that he simply wasn't the best example after which to model our own behavior. What if we look at the ultimate example of a Christian teacher and expositor, Christ Himself? Surely then we'll see how to handle this unappealing message of a crucified Savior whom only the dregs of society preached. Surely at last we'll see a glimmer of success. But by worl.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 8e10560 | it is helpful to note that every time angels spoke in the Bible, they did so in a real language that was understandable to those to whom they spoke.

| 91c81d4 | 8The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 9He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 73c152b | The manner in which God laid our iniquity on Him was that God treated Him as if He had committed every sin ever committed by every person who would ever believe, though He was perfectly innocent of any sin. God did so to Him, so that wrath being spent and justice satisfied, God could then give to the account of sinners who believe, the righteousness of Christ, treating them as if they had done only the righteous acts of Christ.

| cb939c1 | Human nature really hasn't changed much throughout history; shame and honor were as big a deal in the ancient world as they are today. Back in the ninth century B.C., the epic poet Homer wrote, "The chief good was to be well spoken of, the chief evil, to be badly spoken of by one's society." In the first century A.D., the apostle Paul ministered in a shame-sensitive, honor-seeking culture, shamelessly preaching a shameful message about a pu.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| e2e5507 | For believers to doubt their security is to question God's integrity and power. It is to add the merit of human works to the gracious, unmerited work of God. And it is to add self-trust to trust in our Lord, because if salvation can be lost by anything that we can or cannot do, our ultimate trust must obviously be in ourselves rather than in God. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| 66d75de | A certain amount of healthy and balanced concern with current trends in government and the community is acceptable, as long as we realize that such interest is not vital to our spiritual growth, our righteous testimony, or the advancement of the kingdom of Christ.

| 7752283 | Anger that is sin, on the other hand, is anger that is self-defensive and self-serving, that is resentful of what is done against oneself. It is the anger that leads to murder and to God's judgment (Matt. 5:21-22). Anger that is selfish, undisciplined, and vindictive is sinful and has no place even temporarily in the Christian life.
