In EP18 we discuss the Judgment of God from Yahweh's perspective verses that of Eliphaz. We will learn that it is a privilege and a blessing to fall under the judgment of God, for it is how He makes us His own. In fact, we are instructed to arm ourselves with this purpose because he who has been suffering in the flesh has chosen to cease from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. How blessed is a man who now perseveres under trial; for once he has chosen to being approved, he will in the future choose to receive the crown of life which the Lord chose to promise those who are now loving Him.Download Transcript

We will examine Eliphaz's experience with a demonic spirit who deceived him with contorted truth, which then became the basis for Eliphaz's if/then religion. The demon projected his own bitterness over the fact that fallen angels are not given a second chance, yet God seems to have unlimited mercy for humanity. The demon left Eliphaz with the idea that no man can stand clean before God; after all, if the angels can't then man, who is beneath their glory, cannot.Download Transcript

We discuss the accusations made by Eliphaz against Job, which leads us to the question, “do we really reap what we sow?” That is Eliphaz's basic argument; Job was getting his due comeuppance. There is so much more to the answer than is traditionally taught and it is found in the difference between the fruit of the flesh that is naturally produced from our lives when we sow to the flesh and the fruit that is supernaturally produced from our lives when we sow to the Spirit.Download Transcript

We will finish Job 3, which is all an expression of Job's grief and agony as he attached his emotional reality to his physical reality. Suffering abounds.Download Transcript

The content delves into the Book of Job, highlighting Job's trials and the nature of God. It contrasts Job's integrity with the reactions of his friends, emphasizing the importance of maintaining faith during hardships. The discussion reflects on God's infinite wisdom and human limitations, encouraging a deeper relationship with God through prayer. It also addresses misconceptions about God's character and the necessity of aligning thoughts with divine wisdom.

The session focuses on the Book of Job, emphasizing Job's integrity and his relationship with God. It discusses the trials he faced and the importance of maintaining integrity amidst challenges. The content highlights family values, parental guidance, and the significance of prayer. Job's wealth did not hinder his faith, and his response to loss showcases his worship. The discussion concludes with reflections on Job's legacy and the importance of faith.

Send us Fan MailHell, suffering, money, pride, and integrity all collide in one conversation and it gets uncomfortably personal fast. We start with the parable of the rich man and Lazarus and zoom in on a detail that's easy to miss: the rich man asks for a drop of water, but he never asks for God. Even in torment, he still talks like a man in charge, giving orders and treating Lazarus like an errand runner. That observation takes us straight into big theology questions about free will, repentance, and what “total depravity” actually looks like when comfort is stripped away.Then we pivot to Job and wrestle with one of the most debated lines in the Book of Job: Job's wife telling him to “curse God and die.” We talk through the dynamics of “one flesh,” temptation that comes through close relationships, and the difference between a flesh response that craves escape and a Godward response that clings to fear of the Lord. Along the way, we ask how grief, pain, and fear can expose what we're really trying to protect.We close by walking through Job 31 as Job's last words land on concrete ethics: hospitality, care for the poor, fair treatment, and justice in property dealings. Job doesn't just claim innocence, he invites scrutiny and wants the charges written down. We also reflect on how Job could speak such clear truth without a printed Bible, and why small acts of mercy matter more than we think.

Is it possible for us to live anxious for nothing, such that fear does not dominate and define our lives? Living afraid and living anxious can only be remedied when we are willing to go to the source and let God cause us to stand in faith, confident that He is our only source for hope, security, protection, provision, guidance, assurance, comfort and so on.Download Transcript

We are introduced to the boys, Job's best buds: Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. This began the time when Job felt free to vent his frustration with his life (which we will find out is something the boys did not like) We will also be addressing some interesting elements associated with those who love darkness and are notafraid to waken the Leviathan. We will also do a dive into the spiritual forces connected to death and to Sheol.Download Transcript

Send us Fan MailGod's silence can feel like the worst kind of answer. When you're doing your best to be faithful and the storm keeps pounding, it's easy to start demanding explanations, or to assume you've failed, or to let other people's “Bible certainty” crush you. We sit with Job at that exact edge and ask what God may be doing when He doesn't explain Himself.We talk about why God's love is not transactional, why grace can't be bought with good behavior, and why some believers will never see the kind of comfort or “success” that people wrongly treat as proof of favor. We also unpack a hard truth from the Book of Job: Job's friends say things that are theologically true, yet they weaponize truth through bad application. That leads us into practical biblical hermeneutics, how to read Scripture in context, and why the Bible must be understood as a cohesive whole rather than a stack of disconnected quotes.Along the way we lean on Psalms 139 and Psalm 37, connect Job's suffering to Hebrews 11, and let John 13:16 humble us with the reminder that a servant is not greater than his master. We end in prayer for the sick, for the hurting, and for strength to keep trusting God's sovereignty when life makes no sense.If you've ever wrestled with suffering, spiritual doubt, or religious voices that oversimplify pain, listen through to the end.

We are told that in all this Job did not sin with his lips even though Jesus would say that Job's words would have been enough to drag him before the Heavenly Assembly. But the issue of sin is not what we have been told. God relates to sin differently than man does, especially those within the religion of Christianity. The true issue of sin is about relationship, not knowing our God by His name, not experiencing intimacy withHim.Download Transcript

Can God, who sits outside of time, be persuaded or have his mind changed? Our God loves to deal with His creation through within time, and interact with us in our space, and our choices, to accomplish His purposes in our lives, working with and through our free will. Still, Yahweh operates according to His Plan-A, which is rooted in relationship and a desire for intimacy, a passion to share Himself with those who are willing to let theSpirit of God cause them to call on His name.Download Transcript

The introduction to Job presents it as a unique, carefully crafted work—rooted in real events but written as a poetic, framed narrative—that is often misunderstood and requires thoughtful interpretation. It emphasizes that Job's suffering is not a result of wrongdoing and that the book is less about explaining why suffering happens and more about revealing God's freedom and challenging the idea that life with God is transactional. Ultimately, the story exposes how easily people align with the voice of accusation, inviting readers to wrestle with their assumptions about God, suffering, and their own hearts.

The second encounter at the Heavenly Council where once again God asks the Satan if he has considered his servant Job. We will explore the concept of whether God can be persuaded. Is there Plan-A or a reactive chain of events based on our freewill choices. We will note that God sits outside of time but loves to deal with us in time to accomplish His purposes in our lives, working with and through our free will.

We will explore how the heavenly realms work in terms of the Satan being the accuser and how he brings accusation against those in the household of God. It is an interesting process that is best to be understood through the reasons the Father allows this to occur. Yes, the Satan wants to wreck people, but God wants to give people the opportunity to understand WHY they should choose Him and HOW to choose Him. For the person who is the target of these heavenly realmexchanges, it all seems terrible, feels like punishment for doing wrong, or just flat out unjust and undeserving. And the devil sure makes such accusations against us and against God. But the Father is working and all He does is purposeful.Download Transcript

After the first encounter in the Heavenly Courtroom, the Satan was granted permission to afflict Job and the first round of “hell” was unleashed against Job. In that judgment, the Satan wreaked chaos as Job's kids were killed, his servants werekilled, his possessions stolen, all in a moment in time, one-after-another. Yet, in all this Job did not charge God or accuse God foolishly.Download Transcript

The Satan targets people, collects intel, and then shows up at the Great Assembly ready to make accusation before Yahweh against his targets. Yahweh initiates and offers up the challenge over Job's life. The Satan was ready and sought permission to come against Job to prove that he would, if the hedge of protection was removed from his life, curse God to his face. Yahweh gave the Satan permission to go after Job, if he did not touch Job's life. And as a good obedient servant who only can do what His Master directs, the Satan ascribed all the terror and trauma that would happen to Yahweh and Yahweh alone.Download Transcript

We explore the Great Assembly of God and how the sons of Gods, even the Satan, present themselves before their master Yahweh Sabaoth, the Lord of heaven's armies. Yes, even the evilspirits of wickedness, the Satan himself, comes before Yahweh Sabaoth to address the affairs of mankind.Download Transcript

We dive into the spiritual word play where words like blesscan mean curse, and sinned can mean to make atonement, or to mediate on behalf of a sin. This spiritual inversion of words is tied to Job's family and how his sons' hearts were tinkering on apostasy. And all this is to bring Job's own tinkering with apostasy to the surface, which is why a mediator is required,one who would bring atonement for sin.Downloaed Transcript

Pastor Patrick Carmichael & occasional guest speakers deliver God's Word at Christ Bible Church's weekly Sunday services. Mission Hills, California.

Mr. Brock McNaughton talks about how building a firm foundation starts with looking at Christ, including 1) Reading the Bible (Matthew 4:1-11), 2) Prayer (Matthew 26:36-46), 3) Fellowship (Acts 2:42-47), 4) The Shaken Foundation: The story of Job (Job 38:4-7, 42:1-17). This episode of the Evangel Houghton podcast is a Sunday message from Evangel Community Church, Houghton, Michigan, December 28, 2025.

Send us a textA friend's comfort can heal—or it can cut. We walk through the tension with Eliphaz, who speaks many right things about God while wounding Job with timing, tone, and misapplied promises. The loss is fresh, the grief is real, and “your seed will be great” lands like sand in an open wound. That's our starting point for a bigger question: what happens when knowledge shows up without wisdom?We trace the arc of Job's story to a surprising turn. God's rebuke doesn't target a hidden sin before the storm; it addresses how Job responds after the suffering starts—when self-defense begins to eclipse defending God. That pivot exposes a temptation we all face: protect our reputation, win the argument, prove we're right. But Jesus in the wilderness shows another way. He doesn't debate the tempter. He answers with Scripture, steady and sure. We explore how that pattern guards the heart and serves the person in front of us.Along the way, we name the sludge of debate culture: clever put-downs, public “wins,” and spiritual pride dressed as certainty. Eliphaz's “We have searched it, and it is true—apply it to yourself” becomes a case study in condescension. The alternative is harder, holier, and far more fruitful: humility that listens, truth delivered with care, and a community that chooses edification over ego. We talk about knowledge versus wisdom, how to apply theology without crushing souls, and why repetition in Scripture study forms instincts that hold under pressure.If you're hungry for conversations that build people rather than platforms, this one's for you. We pray, reflect, and commit to passing living faith from person to person and generation to generation—anchored in God's Word and animated by His grace.

Send us a textPain has a way of drawing out our deepest assumptions. When Job loses everything, his friend Eliphaz rushes in with a familiar formula: fix your sin and your life will snap back into shape. We walk through that logic and hold it up to the light, asking whether prosperity promises and neat moral equations can hold the weight of real suffering. Along the way, we explore how affliction can coexist with God's favor, and why maturing faith often grows in the places our metrics call failure.We also confront projection and hypocrisy—the human habit of condemning others with the very standards we ignore in ourselves. Drawing on Paul's counsel in Galatians 6, we unpack what it means to correct with a gentle spirit, to begin with self-examination, and to carry burdens instead of throwing stones. That shift in posture transforms debates into discipleship. It changes the room from a courtroom to a clinic, where the goal isn't to win but to heal.Job's restraint becomes a quiet masterclass. Proverbs praises the wisdom of measured silence, and we apply that to charged questions where Scripture speaks softly—like the destiny of infants who die. Rather than filling the gaps with bluster, we choose humility, compassion, and confident hope in God's character. We contrast Eliphaz's promise of worldly alignment—stones and beasts at peace—with the reality of a fallen creation and a cross-shaped path of growth. True comfort refuses to sell certainty we do not have; it offers presence, patience, and a bigger vision of God.If you're weary of hot takes and hungry for deeper wisdom, this conversation will steady your steps.

Send us a textPain does not automatically mean punishment, and Job's story exposes how easily we confuse the two. We walk through Eliphaz's polished but misguided counsel and trace how the same logic shows up today—when Christians turn baptism, tongues, or tithing into salvation checkpoints and treat God like a cosmic scorekeeper. The heart of our conversation is simple but demanding: grace is not a transaction, and promises are not prizes you unlock. They are gifts anchored in Christ and applied by the Spirit, especially when life hurts.We explore the difference between punishment and chastisement, showing how the Father's correction aims at restoration, not retribution. Think of the shepherd who breaks the lamb's leg to save it, then carries it until it heals—hard to receive, but rich in love. From Job's integrity to the blind man in John 9 and Paul's thorn, Scripture reframes suffering as a stage for God's glory rather than a scoreboard of hidden sins. Along the way, we name the quiet harm of “truth” without compassion: friends who quote verses but won't listen, counselors who turn comfort into conditions, and teachers who preach prosperity logic while undermining grace.If you've ever been judged for your pain or tempted to measure God's favor by outcomes, this conversation offers a better way. We talk about how to approach a struggling friend with humility, why orthodoxy must be warm to be faithful, and how the gospel frees us to count trials as joy—not because pain is good, but because Christ is near and his righteousness is already ours. Listen, share with someone who needs gentle truth today, and if this resonated, follow the show, leave a review, and tell us how grace has reframed your view of suffering.Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textWhat happens when good theology lands on a hurting heart with the wrong aim? We walk through Job 5:18–27 and watch Eliphaz speak true things about God—His power to wound and heal, His deliverance in “six troubles, yes in seven”—while misdiagnosing Job's pain as proof of hidden sin. The result is a masterclass in how truth, severed from compassion and context, can crush the very person it's meant to comfort.We unpack the sovereignty of God in suffering without shrinking from the hard questions it raises. Affliction and restoration come from the same Lord, yet that doesn't license guesswork about another's guilt. Instead, we trace the contours of faithful care: listening before labeling, honoring lament, and refusing to weaponize Scripture as a quick fix. The promises of protection in famine, sword, slander, and fear are not levers to pull but anchors to hold when explanations go quiet.From here, we draw a surprising line from Job to Jesus. The afflicted becomes the teacher, just as Christ corrected His critics while bearing reproach. Israel longed for a conquering king and overlooked the suffering servant who conquers death. That same impulse fuels a modern myth: success equals God's favor. We challenge that narrative and recover a cruciform lens—strength perfected in weakness, victory revealed at the cross, hope that binds rather than blames. Join us as we reimagine comfort that is doctrinally rich, emotionally wise, and shaped by the humility of Christ.

The Suffering of Job      Job's suffering began abruptly, without warning and without explanation, when God permitted Satan to test his integrity. Though Job was “blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil” (Job 1:1), divine sovereignty allowed undeserved suffering as a means of glorifying God and refining Job's soul. Zuck wisely states, “The Book of Job addresses the mystery of unmerited misery, showing that in adversity God may have other purposes besides retribution for wrongdoing.”[1] Satan challenged Job's motives, accusing him of serving God only because of prosperity (Job 1:9–11). To silence the accusation, God removed the hedge of protection and permitted adversity to strip Job of his possessions, children, and health. Job's wealth, family, and comfort were gone in a day, and his body was reduced to pain and decay. Yet even in shock and sorrow, Job responded with doctrinal stability: “The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord” (Job 1:21). His reaction reveals that spiritual maturity is measured not by prosperity but by the capacity to think divine viewpoint under pressure. Zuck states: "It is truly remarkable that Job followed adversity with adoration, woe with worship. Unlike so many people, he did not give in to bitterness; he refused to blame God for wrongdoing (cf. Job 2:10). Job's amazing response showed Satan was utterly wrong in predicting that Job would curse God. Devotion is possible without dollars received in return; people can be godly apart from material gain. Job's saintly worship at the moment of extreme loss and intense grief verified God's words about Job's godly character."[2]      As the suffering prolonged, Job's emotional and physical agony intensified. The silence of heaven pressed upon him, and his so-called friends (Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar) added psychological torment through their false theology of retribution. They insisted that Job's suffering was punishment for secret sin, reflecting human viewpoint reasoning divorced from grace. Job defended his innocence, yet his soul wavered between confusion and faith. His lamentations revealed an inner struggle between human viewpoint self-pity and divine viewpoint trust. The conflict of the soul is where doctrine must move from theory to reality. Job learned that faith must rest on who and what God is, not on temporal blessings or human understanding. Suffering exposed the inadequacy of human rationalization and forced Job to focus on the immutable character of God. It was a suffering for purification.      When God finally answered from the whirlwind, He did not explain the reasons for Job's suffering; He revealed His own infinite wisdom and sovereign control. Confronted with God's majesty, Job recognized the smallness of his finite perspective and confessed, “I have declared that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me” (Job 42:3). This was a display of humility. Job's faith had matured from knowledge about God to experiential confidence in Him. Job said, “I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees You” (Job 42:5). According to Zuck, “This thrilling view of God, probably spiritual insight, not physical vision, deepened his perspective and appreciation of God. What Job now knew of God was incomparable to his former ideas, which were really ignorant.”[3] God restored Job's fortunes, but the true reward was not material, but spiritual transformation. Through suffering, Job became a trophy of grace, proving that mature faith endures not because of what it receives, but because of whom it knows. Steven R. Cook, D.Min., M.Div.   [1] Roy B.

In this sermon, we will be finishing the Book of Job (Job 42:7-17)! This passage focuses on the theme of restoration. God used Job to restore his friends and then He restored Job's blessings. In the same way, God challenges us to help others be restored to God through a relationship with Jesus Christ.As you prepare for the message, please read the passage and ask yourself:How has God used what happened in my past to help others?What would restoration look like in my life?

     Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world. When Jesus began His public ministry, He faced a series of tests from Satan, one of which was an offer to receive the kingdoms of the world without going to the cross. Satan told Jesus, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish” (Luke 4:6). Satan took possession of “this domain and its glory” by God's permission and man's sin, presumably, when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and follow Satan (Gen 3:1-8). Satan said to Jesus, “Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours” (Luke 4:7). Satan's offer had to be true in order for the temptation to be real. At some time in the future, Satan will share his authority with the Antichrist, because he advances his agenda (Rev 13:1-2). Three times Jesus referred to Satan as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). Other passages of Scripture call Satan “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), informing us “that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Satan rules as a tyrant who has “weakened the nations” (Isa 14:12), and currently “deceives the whole world” (Rev 12:9). He personally attacked Adam and Eve (Gen 3:1-7), Job (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-13), David, (1 Chr 21:1), Joshua the high priest (Zec 3:1-2), Jesus (Matt 4:1-11), Judas (John 13:27), and Peter (Luke 22:31-32). He continues to attack God's people today (1 Pet 5:8), practices deception (2 Cor 11:13-15), and has well developed strategies of warfare (Eph 6:10-12). Furthermore, humanity is living in an “evil age” (Gal 1:4), under “the dominion of Satan” (Acts 26:18), whose sphere of influence is called “the domain of darkness” (Col 1:13).      As Christians, we have victory in Christ. At the moment we trusted Christ as Savior, God “rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins” (Col 1:13-14). As Christians, we have been gifted with God's own righteousness (Rom 5:17; 2 Cor 5:21; Phil 3:9), and will never face condemnation (Rom 8:1). Furthermore, God “has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Eph 1:3), and called us to serve as “ambassadors for Christ” (2 Cor 5:20), sharing the gospel message with others.      God the Father has promised to give Jesus the kingdoms of this world, saying, “I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession” (Psa 2:8; cf. Isa 2:1-5; Dan 2:44; 7:14). This will occur after the seven-year Tribulation; at which time it will be said, “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever” (Rev 11:15; cf. 20:1-3). Satan was judged at the cross (John 12:31; 16:11; Col 2:14-15), and awaits future punishment. His judgment is very near when he is cast out of heaven during the Tribulation (Rev 12:7-12); at which time his wrath is greatest against Israel. After the return of Christ (Rev 19:11-16) and the establishment of His kingdom (Rev 20:1-6), Satan will be confined to the abyss for a thousand years (Rev 20:1-3). Afterwards, he is released for a brief time and will again deceive the nations and lead a rebellion against God (Rev 20:7-8), but will be quickly defeated (Rev 20:9), and cast into the Lake of Fire, where he will remain, with his demons and all unbelievers forever (Matt 25:41; Rev 20:10-15).      Those who understand their fallen spiritual state and utter helplessness to save themselves can turn to Christ as their Savior and avoid the Lake of Fire with its eternal torments. But this means the lost person must be convinced of their position in this world, and then must choose Christ. Tenney states: "To convince any unbeliever of sin, righteousness, and judgment is beyond human ability. It may be possible to fix upon him the guilt of some specific sin if there is sufficient evidence to bring him before a jury; but to make him acknowledge the deeper fact, that he is a sinner, evil at heart, and deserving of punishment because he has not believed in Christ, is quite another matter. To bring a man to some standard of ethics is not too difficult; for almost every person has ideals that coincide with the moral law at some point. To create in him the humiliating consciousness that his self-righteousness is as filthy rags in comparison with the spotless linen of the righteousness of God cannot be effected by ordinary persuasion. Many believe in a general law of retribution; but it is almost impossible to convince them that they already stand condemned. Only the power of the Holy Spirit, working from within, can bring about that profound conviction which leads to repentance. The Spirit anticipates and makes effective the ministry of the disciples in carrying the message to unbelievers."[1]      Satan has been judged and will spend eternity in the lake of fire. Though Satan has been judged, his punishment is pending execution. Furthermore, those who side with Satan in this life will be judged with him in eternity. According to Ryrie, “At the cross, Christ triumphed over Satan, serving notice on unbelievers of their judgment to come.”[2] Radmacher notes, “Satan was judged at the Cross, and the Holy Spirit would convince people of the judgment to come. Satan has been judged, so all who side with him will be judged with him. There is no room for neutrality. A person is either a child of God or a child of the devil.”[3] Those who reject Christ as Savior naturally default to an alliance with Satan, and these will spend eternity in the lake of fire with him, “the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels” (Matt 25:41). The lake of fire is avoidable. If the lost simply trust in Christ as their Savior, they will have eternal life and spend eternity with God in heaven. However, if they reject Christ as Savior, then they will spend eternity in hell, for “if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire” (Rev 20:15).

     As Christians, the Bible reveals we live in a fallen world and face attacks on three fronts. These include Satan, the world, and the flesh. First, Satan is a fallen angel who rules and leads other fallen angels to rebel against God. Fallen angels are also referred to as evil spirits, unclean spirits, and demons. Second, Satan and his demonic forces have created a world-system that is wholly opposed to God and His will. Satan's world-system is a realm of spiritual darkness that envelops lost humanity—and carnal Christians—and consists of those philosophies, values, and practices that appeal to pride and the flesh. Third, the flesh refers to the fallen sinful nature that every person possesses (including Christians), which constantly entices us to act contrary to God and His Word. These three spiritual dangers threaten the Christian's spiritual life and effectiveness in the world. Though eternal salvation cannot be lost, the Christian can become a casualty of war and traitor to God's cause. Our Enemy the Devil      Many think of Satan as the counterpart of God; but this is wrong. God is the Creator, whereas Satan is merely a creature. God is infinitely and eternally good, whereas Satan was created good, but then turned away in rebellion, leading others to follow, both angels and people. Satan is not the counterpart of God; rather, he is the counterpart of those angels who maintained their allegiance to God. To understand this is to contrast Satan with good angels where, as a creature, he properly belongs.      The Bible reveals Satan was originally created a holy angel of the class of cherubim; however, because of pride (Ezek 28:11-18), he rebelled against God (Isa 14:12-14), and convinced many angels to follow him (Rev 12:4, 7). The name Satan is derived from the Hebrew שָׂטָן Satan which means “adversary, opponent, accuser, opposing party…[or] the one who hinders a purpose”[1] The Greek Σατανᾶς Satanas carries the same meaning and is used “in a very special sense of the enemy of God and all of those who belong to God.”[2] Other names for Satan include the shining one, or Lucifer (Isa 14:12), the evil one (1 John 5:19), the tempter (1 Th 3:5), the devil (Matt 4:1), the god of this world (2 Cor 4:4), the accuser of the brethren (Rev 12:10), the prince of the power of the air (Eph 2:2), the serpent (Rev 12:9), and the great red dragon (Rev 12:3). Further, Satan is a murderer and liar (John 8:44), is compared to a lion that prowls about, looking for someone to devour (1 Pet 5:8), and one who disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Cor 11:14).      Lucifer became Satan at the time of his rebellion when he declared, “I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit on the mount of assembly in the recesses of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.”  (Isa 14:13-14). Pentecost states, “The desire of Satan was to move in and occupy the throne of God, exercise absolute independent authority over the angelic creation, bring the earth and all the universe under his authority, cover himself with the glory that belongs to God alone, and then be responsible to no one but himself.”[3] Satan seeks to operate independently of God's plan for him, and he leads others, both saved and unsaved, to do the same. Lucifer introduced sin and death to the first humans when he convinced them to turn from God and eat the forbidden fruit (Gen 2:16-17; 3:1-7). At the time of the fall, Adam handed his kingdom over to Satan, who has been ruling this world since (Luke 4:5-6).      Satan is permitted, for a time, to rule over the majority in this world. When Jesus began His public ministry, He faced a series of tests from Satan, one of which was an offer to receive the kingdoms of the world without going to the cross. Satan told Jesus, “I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish” (Luke 4:6). Satan took possession of “this domain and its glory” by God's permission and man's sin, presumably, when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God and follow Satan (Gen 3:1-8). Satan said to Jesus, “Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours” (Luke 4:7). Satan's offer had to be true in order for the temptation to be real. At some time in the future, Satan will share his authority with the Antichrist, because he advances his agenda (Rev 13:1-2). Three times Jesus referred to Satan as “the ruler of this world” (John 12:31; 14:30; 16:11). Other passages of Scripture call Satan “the god of this world” (2 Cor 4:4), and “the prince of the power of the air” (Eph 2:2), informing us “that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one” (1 John 5:19). Satan rules as a tyrant who has “weakened the nations” (Isa 14:12), and currently “deceives the whole world” (Rev 12:9). He personally attacked Adam and Eve (Gen 3:1-7), Job (Job 1:6-12; 2:1-13), David, (1 Chr 21:1), Joshua the high priest (Zec 3:1-2), Jesus (Matt 4:1-11), Judas (John 13:27), and Peter (Luke 22:31-32). He continues to attack God's people today (1 Pet 5:8), practices deception (2 Cor 11:13-15), and has well developed strategies of warfare (Eph 6:10-12). Furthermore, humanity is living in an “evil age” (Gal 1:4), under “the dominion of Satan” (Acts 26:18), whose sphere of influence is called “the domain of darkness” (Col 1:13). Dr. Steven R.

Thursday, 14 November 2024   Blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see God. Matthew 5:9   “Blessed – the pacificatory, For they – sons of God – they will be called” (CG).   In the previous verse, Jesus referred to the pure of heart. Now He next says, “Blessed – the pacificatory.”   The word is found only here in Scripture, eirénopoios. It is an adjective coming from two words meaning “to make peace.” No translations, even the most literal, however, properly use an adjective form in their translation. However, the word pacificatory is such an adjective.    The word pacificatory signifies something that tends to promote peace or is conciliatory. It was first used in the late Middle Ages, somewhere around the late 1500s. It comes from the Latin word pācificātōrius.   The words of Jesus are taken to unintended and unhealthy extremes by liberal churches. This is not speaking of battle or intensely correcting wrongdoing. Jesus has done or will do both. He vigorously rebuked those who mistreated God's word, He went into a tirade of sorts when He turned over the tables of the moneychangers and merchants in His Father's house. He will return again and destroy vast armies coming against Israel.   This is not an all-out call for “peace, brother” like the hippies. It is exactly what the word means, to promote peace or make conciliation. Those who work to bring peace between God and man are the particular focus. There is a state of enmity between the two. Without that being restored through a right relationship with Him, there can be no peace.   Under the Old Covenant, Malachi gives a marvelous example of this. After rebuking the priests for their unholy conduct in the presence of the Lord, he says –   “He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And urge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness.” Malachi 3:3   Only after there is proper mediation between God and man can the offerings of righteousness be brought before the Lord. Jesus has done this in its fullest sense through the New Covenant. Now, those who work to reconcile others through the word concerning Jesus are the truly pacificatory. They are the peacemakers that are bringing about the kingdom, one soul at a time.   Of such, Jesus next says, “For they – sons of God – they will be called.” The term “sons of God” first goes back to Genesis 6 –   “Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, 2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.” Genesis 6:1, 2   This is not referring to giants walking around with knurl brows and clubbed feet. It is a reference to the godly line of Seth which is then noted repeatedly through the rest of Scripture. It is those who live by faith in what God has done for His people. Job (Job 1:6 & 2:1) is called such a son.   Those who expend themselves in making peace through reconciling men to God will, indeed, be called sons of God.   Life application: The sons of God in Genesis 6 is one of the many highly abused descriptors in Scripture. The reason for this comes down to a single word, sensationalism. And that leads to another matter, popularity and prosperity. By mishandling the word of God through sensationalism, people are thought of as great teachers because they have an ear-tingling message.   But there is nothing sensational about mishandling the word of God. Rather, we should pay attention to the surrounding context, understand the type and form of literature being presented, and then make our evaluations based on that. Such teachings are unpopular because they require hard work and diligent study, but they will show us the heart of God as we continue through the pages of Scripture.   If you want to know more about the sons of God, two sermons in particular from the Superior Word should be viewed: Genesis 6:1-4 (The Nephilim) and Deuteronomy 14:1, 2 (Sons of the Lord God).   Be sure to rightly handle the word of God, and also be sure to be pacificatory in your walk with the Lord. Tell others about the goodness of God in Christ Jesus.   Lord God, may it be our desire and yearning to pursue You through Your word properly at all times. Help us to maintain context, and to evaluate carefully the things that we are looking into. May this be to Your Glory. Amen.  

In recent years, the issue of mental health has been more widely recognized and talked about. Whereas it was stigmatized in the past—and still is in some ways— conversations within the Church are turning toward how to help those who struggle with their mental health and how our mental health affects our spiritual health. As an article we posted on erlc.com notes, “a report by Lifeway Research reveals that 26%  of U.S. Protestant pastors overall and 46% of pastors who are under 45 say they face mental health challenges. And more than half of the church leaders have witnessed members of their congregations suffering from conditions like depression and bipolar disorder​.” The Bible doesn't shy away from mental health, though it may not be described in those terms. Biblical figures such as David (Psa. 38:4), Job (Job 3:26), Elijah (1 Kings 19:4), and Jonah (Jonah 4:3) are shown dealing with feelings of despair, anger, depression, and loneliness. And Scripture is clear that we need to bear one another's burdens in community (Gal. 6:2) and be reminded of the hope we have in our Redeemer (Lam. 3:21). On today's episode our guests will address why mental health is an issue we're talking about, how it connects to the work of the ERLC, ways it's related to human dignity, and why it matters for Christians. You'll hear from Brent Leatherwood, the president of the ERLC, as well as RaShan Frost, a senior fellow of the Research Institute of the ERLC and a pastor.
