At Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, our senior pastor Rev. Craig Bailey preached in his First Peter sermon series, encouraging us to expand our imaginations so we can do the work God has for us and receive the rewards God wants to give us.
SCRIPTURE: EPHESIANS 2:8-9 SUMMARY: FALSE DOCTRINE
Title: Lord of All Text: Acts 10:34-43 FCF: We often struggle humbly trusting and loyally submitting to Christ in faith. Prop: Because Jesus is Lord of All, we must believe in Him through His name. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Acts chapter 10. In a moment we will read from the LSB starting in verse 34. You can follow along in the pew bible on page 1243 or in whatever version you prefer. We are more than halfway through the episode now. Cornelius' vision has come to pass. He and his family sit poised to hear the message from Peter. Peter's understanding of the vision he received is expanding to its fullest meaning. As the immediate effect of that… Peter will preach the message Corenlius and his family need. Let's waste no time. Please stand with me to give honor to and to focus on the reading of the Word of God. Invocation: O risen Christ, there is salvation in no one else; there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Let your saving presence be upon us today that we might glory in your abundant love and rightly proclaim your good news of redemption. We pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus. Amen. Transition: [Slide 2] There is a saying we have. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. It is this truism that motivated our forefathers to seek out a government that put power in the hands of the many rather in the hands of the few. As power is consolidated, it is more easily and readily used to corrupt and abuse those who are governed. To us the idea of one ruler holding all power is a fearful thing to consider. Peter's gospel presentation to Cornelius and his friends and family… is all about what happens when the RIGHT MAN holds absolute power. Let's look. I.) Jesus is Lord of Jew and Gentile, so we must believe in Him through His name. (34-36) a. [Slide 3] 34 – And opening his mouth, Peter said: i. And just like that, something clicks in Peter's mind. ii. The full weight of the vision and all its implications are now falling on Peter. iii. Regarding the message that Cornelius has several times alluded to. The message that the servants he sent alluded to. The message that Cornelius has said was ordered by the Lord. We have yet to read in Acts what that message might be. iv. God in speaking to Peter never gives him a message to deliver. v. Certainly, as Peter hears this for the second time now, he might have been wondering up to that point what message God would have him give to these gentiles. vi. But taking the vision and the Spirit's instruction into account, and seeing the events that have unfolded more clearly… Peter knows now exactly what message he is to deliver to Cornelius and his house. vii. It isn't a message for the Jews to consider their ceremonial laws fulfilled – although this is true. viii. It isn't a message for the Jews to abandon their scruples about meeting with gentiles – although this is also true. b. [Slide 4] “I most truly comprehend now that God is not one to show partiality. i. The message… is the gospel of Jesus Christ. ii. We see Peter make the declaration. God is not one to show partiality. iii. What does this mean? iv. Well, we have scriptures that tell us that God has a common grace available to all mankind. That the rain falls on both the unjust and the just. Perhaps Peter thinks that God is generally good to all men, so Peter must share with them the Gospel as an act of common good to them. v. While this is certainly true, it doesn't quite accommodate the aspect of God making the unclean clean does it? vi. We could make this to mean, as some parts of Christianity do, that God has given redemptive grace to all mankind. That God does not show any particular favor to any one but has shown favor to all. In this there are two teachings that diverge. 1. Either all men will be saved – Which is Universalism. 2. Or all men have received grace from God to be saved, they simply must add their belief to receive it – Potential atonement of all men or Synergism. 3. Is this what Peter means that God shows no partiality? vii. I introduce all this in order to teach a principle. The principle is… in scripture… if you don't understand… Keep reading. c. [Slide 5] 35 – but in every nation the one who fears Him and does righteousness is welcome to Him. i. The scriptures as a whole may teach that God is generally good to every single man, and even that as part of that goodness that the gospel must go out to every single man. But that is not what Peter means by God not showing partiality. ii. I would argue that the scriptures as a whole neither teach Universalism nor does it teach Synergism. God did not provide saving grace or a potential atonement to all men. Rather He provided regenerative grace and effectual atonement to many men. iii. Such a teaching endures Peter's comment that God does not show partiality. Why? iv. Because Peter does not speak in reference to all men that have ever lived. He speaks in reference to all kinds of men, namely ethnicity and religious heritage. v. These superficial earthy demarcations are not aspects of us that God considers when He gives saving grace and effectual atonement. And this has always been the case. As we read in the psalms, in proverbs, in the history, in the prophets – God's redemptive plan has ALWAYS included the whole earth. All the nations. Not just Jews. vi. Any man, of any background, if they fear God and obey Him… that in itself is enough for them to be welcomed unto God. vii. And lest we be concerned that Peter is teaching some sort of works-based salvation… Fearing God and obeying God can be set next to seeking God, believing God, and loving God. The relationship in the New Testament between trust, repentance, obedience, fear, love, and faith are so intertwined that it is quite difficult to pick them apart as separate experiences. viii. In short, Peter speaks of one who is or is at least becoming a true believer in the name of Jesus. d. [Slide 6] 36 – As for the word which He sent to the sons of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ – He is Lord of all – i. The word, or the message that God has ordained for Peter to give to Cornelius, is the same message or word that God sent to the sons of Israel through Christ. ii. What is this message? iii. It is a message of Peace. iv. Peace between God and men. v. A cessation of hostility. A way to be made right with God. vi. In this Christ is both the messenger and also the message. Christ comes with a message of peace but He is also the means of that peace. vii. How is He able to do that? viii. First, because He is the Messiah of God. He is the Christ, the anointed One. The promised One of God. The One who will crush the head of Satan. The One who will provide a path back into the family of God. ix. Second, He is Lord of All. x. Long were the Jews looking for a man chosen of God to lead them to freedom and prosperity. We've been talking about this in foundations in our study of Micah. xi. Long have they been told that their only Hope is in the God of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob. xii. But Peter makes it plain – that in Jesus of Nazareth – He is both the chosen and anointed One of God but also is Lord of all. He is God and Man. xiii. But this is not a message for the sons of Israel only. For God is not one to show partiality. Jesus is, after all, the Lord of all. e. [Slide 7] Summary of the Point: So, in Peter's opening point, which serves as a revelation to himself in addition to a guide to His entire gospel presentation, Peter stresses the idea that Jesus, is the Lord of all men. Although God has referred to Israel as His portion, the entire Old Testament never eliminated a global vision for God's redemptive plan. Anyone, regardless of their heritage, their previous religious persuasion, their ethnicity, their gender, or any other dividing identity characteristic - anyone who has been humbled in fear of the Lord and has submitted to His rule, will not be denied the welcome of God. God's sovereign, unconditional election does not stand opposed to this teaching. Instead, it works in harmony. His sovereign work, which produces this kind of person, is not extended only to people of a particular identifying group. It is extended to all kinds of men for Jesus is Lord of all. What then should be our response? Fear and obedience. Humble Trust and Loyal Submission. Transition: [Slide 8(blank)] But is Jesus simply Lord of all men? Are there other aspects of His Lordship that may contribute to our understanding of the gospel? II.) Jesus is Lord of good and evil, so we must believe in Him through His name. (37-38) a. [Slide 9] 37 – you yourselves know the thing which happened throughout all Judea starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed i. Jesus' life had caused quite a stir. ii. It is reasonable for Peter to have expected a God-Fearer to have heard about the baptism of John. John's ministry was to prepare the way of the Lord. To declare the coming of the King and His Kingdom. iii. His ministry also had reached far and wide. We haven't met the last of his disciples in the book of Acts. iv. It is also reasonable for Peter to expect that most everyone would have heard by now of the exploits of Jesus. His miracles. His ministry. v. People came from far and wide to hear him and see him perform miracles. vi. And we know that Jesus had interacted with other centurions of the Roman army, even raising one centurion's servant without having ever seen the servant. vii. We also know Philip the evangelist preceded Peter in arriving in Caesarea preaching the gospel. viii. And perhaps even in his conversing with them Peter was made aware of all they had heard. ix. Therefore, he is starting from what they know and intending to expand on it. b. [Slide 10] 38 – You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. i. Although the words “you know of” do not appear in the Greek text, they are supplied by the LSB here to indicate that this is further pointing to the specifics of all that they knew. ii. And they knew quite a lot. iii. They knew that Jesus of Nazareth had been given power by the Holy Spirit and anointed by God the Father. iv. They knew that He went about doing good v. They knew He went about healing all who were oppressed by the devil. vi. What they did not know… is that He was able to do all of this because God was with Him. vii. Peter proves his point that Jesus is Lord of all by showing that He is Lord OF good and OVER evil and dark forces of the world. He went about doing good and defeating evil and dark powers. viii. Yes, the Lord Jesus reigns… in goodness and over evil itself. c. [Slide 11] Summary of the Point: In Peter's first point, as the fullest realization of the vision he saw, he now confesses that Jesus is Lord of all, meaning of all men. That salvation, in its fullest sense, is offered not to Jews only, but to all men. In this second point, in recounting what Cornelius and his close relations and friends have heard, Peter shows that Jesus is not merely the Lord of all men, but is also the Lord of good and evil. By this he means that Jesus not only is the definition of what is good, but also that He rules even over the forces of evil. He is able to cast out evil. He is able to dominate the forces that have dominated men. What is the only proper response to such a Lord? Fear and obedience. Humble Trust and Loyal Submission. Transition: [Slide 12(blank)] Jesus is Lord of all men. Jesus is good and rules over evil. Anything else? III.) Jesus is Lord of life and death, so we must believe in Him through His name. (39-41) a. [Slide 13] 39 – And we are witnesses of all the things He did both in the land of the Judea and in Jerusalem. i. Peter provides somewhat of a transitional sentence here. ii. He switches not to what the gentiles in front of him knew, but of what the apostles and the early 120-member church were all witnesses. iii. Thus, they may not know any of what he is about to tell them, but he is bearing witness to them of what they saw Jesus do in Judea and Jerusalem. iv. This is the message that they were commissioned by Christ to take to the nations – all that Jesus did, especially in Jerusalem, and especially the last two months before he ascended. v. Which of course includes… b. [Slide 14] They also put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree. i. We know who the they is in this sentence, but it is not readily apparent grammatically. ii. We have 3 options from the text so far. iii. It could be the sons of Israel, it could be the forces of darkness. It could be the Father and the Spirit. iv. In fact, it was all three of these. v. But who put Jesus to death is not what Peter is emphasizing here. vi. The fact that He was put to death by hanging on a tree, IS. vii. The Old Testament affirms that anyone who is hung on a tree is cursed. viii. Jesus was cursed. ix. But He didn't stay cursed… c. [Slide 15] 40 – God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He appear 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses who were chosen beforehand by God, that is, to us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead. i. And so, continuing to add to what Cornelius and his friends and family knew, Peter goes on to tell them that Jesus was raised by God on the third day and appeared to many people. ii. Not to everyone… for those who resolutely remained in their unbelief would then be held in greater judgment for seeing the risen Christ with their own eyes and yet still rejecting Him. iii. Not to everyone… for not all were equipped to testify to His life, death, and Life again like those who followed Him. iv. No, only to some who would believe, chosen by God. Only these saw Jesus and ate and drank with Him proving in fact that He was no spirit or apparition. He was raised indeed and in a new body. v. Thus, He is also Lord over life and death. vi. If God willed to pluck Him, even from death… then He must be Lord of all. d. [Slide 16] Summary of the Point: Peter has shown that all men are under His Lordship. He has shown that even the forces of evil are under His benevolent Lordship. And as an eyewitness to the fact, even the things that God alone claims to be in control of- things like life and death – Jesus is said to be Lord. “I lay my life down and can take it up again…” He said. God proved that He was exactly who He said He was by raising Him from the dead. He is the Lord of life and the Lord over death. How should we respond to such a Lord? A Lord who has the power of life and death in His hands? Fear and obey. Humble trust and loyal submission. Transition: [Slide 17(blank)] Do we need more? Is the gospel not yet full enough? Shall we leave it here? Or is there still more that He is Lord over? IV.) Jesus is Lord of the living and the dead, so we must believe in Him through His name. (42-43) a. [Slide 18] 42 – And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to solemnly bear witness that this is the One who has been designated by God as Judge of the living and the dead. i. Another aspect of Jesus being Lord of all is that having been raised from the Dead and glorified, He is now the Judge of the living and the dead. He is Lord over all. ii. He is the Lord over those who will live and those who will die. He is Lord over those who will be sent to life and sent to death. iii. And the message that God ordained for Peter to preach is Jesus the Lord of all and final judge of all. iv. This message is the message Cornelius referred to. v. This message is the one that God not only extends to all nations, but also enables many of all nations to receive. vi. And it is the message Peter is giving right now to Cornelius and his family and friends. b. [Slide 19] 43 – Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins. i. Peter reaches the climax of His gospel presentation on Jesus being Lord of all by declaring that the way to be judged as living and not dead is to receive forgiveness for sins. ii. And how does one receive forgiveness for sins? iii. The prophets of Old spoke of the coming one who would bear His people's sins. They spoke of one Ruler who would rule from Jerusalem and all nations would come to Him to learn and obey. iv. In this, the prophets reveal the truth. That Jesus is this One. All hope is in Him. v. We are saved through His name. vi. [Slide 20] We've talked about this before, but when we use the expression “in His name” or “through His name” there are a couple layers of meaning. 1. First, it means with His authority or with His power. This focuses on our belief that Jesus is the Lord of all, who will judge the living and the dead, and who is over life, death, and all evil. Thus, believing through His name is believing in His power and authority to save us. 2. But the second meaning of the phrase is for His sake or on His behalf. This focuses on our belief that we are not saved because of any righteousness of our own, but only because Christ has paid our punishment and given us His righteousness. It is only for His sake that any are saved. vii. When we are told to believe in or to call on the name of Jesus, it is not speaking to a belief in historical facts alone. Instead, it is a belief that God only saves through Christ's substitutionary atonement and it is a submission to Christ's Lordship. viii. Through His name, everyone who believes (Jew or Gentile) will be forgiven of sins, freed from the power of evil, made right with God, established in peace through Him, and judged among the living. ix. There is hope in no other name but Jesus Christ, The Lord of All who was crucified for sinners. c. [Slide 21] Summary of the Point: Peter is being biblical, but abundantly logical as well. If Jesus is Lord over all men, over all good and evil, over life and death… then it stands to reason that He is also Lord and judge over the living and the dead. By living we mean those who have been granted life and life abundant. By dead we mean those who have been dead in their sins and have never been altered. As Lord over and Judge over He alone holds the keys. He alone holds the gavel. He alone determines who receives life and who is condemned to death. He will separate the sheep from the goats. What is the only proper response to such a Lord? It is belief in Him through His name. Which is what? Fear and obedience. It is Humble trust and loyal submission. Conclusion: So, CBC, after looking at Peter's sermon, what is it we are to walk away with? What orthodoxy and orthopraxy must we leave with? Doctrinal Takeaway: [Slide 22] Jesus is Lord of all. All men, all forces of good and evil, death, life, the dead and the living. He is Lord of all creation. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the Last. He has demonstrated this by being anointed with the Spirit, healing those afflicted by the devil, dying for the sins of His people, raised by God to authenticate His Word, Ascended to God to intercede for His people and will one day return to judge the living and the dead. There is hope in no other name. No other name has the authority of Jesus Christ. It is for no other's sake that God will pass over sin and declare someone to be righteous. It is only on the basis of what He's done and who He is that we can and indeed we MUST humbly trust in and loyally submit to Him and Him alone for the forgiveness of sins. My friends… this is the gospel. He is Lord of all. That is the gospel. It is what gives us peace with God and reconciles us to Him… in that we kiss the Son. Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled, How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! Psalm 2:12. But let us apply this more vividly today. Where does this doctrine meet us? 1.) [Slide 23] Mind Transformation: “What truth must we believe from this text?” or “What might we not naturally believe that we must believe because of what this text has said?” We must believe that Jesus is Lord of all. a. All men are born naturally believing that they are the determiner of their own destiny. b. Baked into each of us, we believe that we can choose our path and our life. Our destiny is unwritten. c. But the scriptures cast down and smash this lie to bits. d. Jesus Christ is Lord of all. e. Oftentimes well-meaning pastors stand behind pulpits pleading with church goers to invite Jesus into their hearts. Pleading with them ask Jesus to be Lord of their life. f. My friends… Jesus Christ IS the Lord of all. Whether you ask Him to be or invite Him to be… He owns you. He owns all of us. g. And because of His obedience to the Father's will He has been raised to a position above every man. He is the Judge of the living and the dead. h. The scriptures say that all men will confess that Jesus is Lord to the glory of God the Father. i. Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess. j. This application is less an application and more a statement of fact. k. You will have NO CHOICE but to confess that Jesus is Lord of you, of your life, of your eternity, of your destiny, of EVERYTHING. l. The only thing uncertain to you… is when. m. When will you believe that Jesus is Lord of all? n. Will you confess and believe it now, while you yet inhabit this mortal body? Will you bow in humble trust and loyal submission now… or will you do so… later. o. That is the only question associated with this application for all men must believe that Jesus is Lord of all. 2.) [Slide 24] Refutation: “What lies must we cast down” or “What do we naturally believe, or have been taught to believe, that this passage shows is false?” We must deny that Jesus will allow even one sin to remain unpaid. a. Because Jesus is Lord of all, and because He is the judge of the living and the dead, one day, on the day that all will confess that Jesus is Lord of all… there will stand a Great White Throne. And the one who sits on that throne, the very presence of earth and heaven flee from Him. b. One day all men, great and small will stand before this great white throne and The Lion of Judah will preside over the court. c. He will call your name and He will open up the books of your life. d. He will read every single thing that you have ever done and He will lay out your sins before you. e. They will all testify against you as acts of treason against Yahweh and His Christ, Jesus, the Lord of Glory, The Judge over the living and the dead. f. And if anyone, including you, are judged by the books of works, you will never be found innocent. g. How do I know that? h. Because Revelation 20 says that anyone who is judged by these books will be cast into the lake of eternal fire. i. If you hope to stand before this throne and hold out for your good deeds to outweigh your bad deeds… my friend the bible has no hope to give you. For if you are judged by your works… you will be found guilty. You will be cast into the lake of eternal torment. j. There you shall remain for all eternity suffering the wrath of God for your sins. k. And the reason that you will be there forever is because were you given 1 eternal lifetime to pay for 1 count of treason against a Holy God, you could not with 1 eternal life adequately pay for your crime against Him. l. How much longer then would you remain in such wrath for your mile long rap sheet full of counts of treason? m. Jesus alone stands at that throne as judge. Jesus alone is the Lord of the living and the dead. n. He will not allow even 1 sin in the sea of all humanity to go unpaid. All sin will be atoned for. Justice will reign at that day. o. How foolish we have become to think… Oh God will forgive me. No my friends. All sin requires atonement. All sin requires someone to pay. All treason against Him will be punished. p. Would that we understood the sinfulness of sin! God open our eyes to see its death grip. A small sip of poison will not hurt us we think. Oh Chase such foolishness away from us Lord! q. So that we may… 3.) [Slide 25] Exhortation: “What actions should we take?” or “What is this passage specifically commanding us to do that we don't naturally do or aren't currently doing?” We must repent of sin and believe in the name of Jesus Christ. a. The same Lord who holds us dangling over the flames. The same Lord we have offended with our treason. The same Lord who is the judge of the living and the dead says to us b. Come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. My yoke is easy and my burden is light. c. The same Lord who condemns… it is also said… d. The Lord, The Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin. e. The same God who rides out to war against His enemies tells His angels to declare f. Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased. g. The same Lord who separates the living and the dead, the goats and the sheep… of Him it was said h. Our griefs He Himself bore, and our sorrows He carried; He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening of our peace fell upon Him and by His wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way but Yahweh has caused the iniquity of us all to fall on… HIM i. This Lord of All… died for sinners. j. My friends… if God has shown you this truth today – how shall you respond? k. You are backed to the edge of a cliff. You know your judgment is coming. You know no sin will be left unpaid. You know you will confess and believe that Jesus is Lord of all one day. And now you know that this same Jesus has laid down His life to bear the sins of many. l. There are only two choices before you. And I implore you to take the only choice that makes sense. m. Turn from your sin in humble trust that this Lord is your Lord and this Savior is your savior. And because of what He's done and who He is… loyally submit to His Lordship. Bow the knee and follow Him. n. Lamentations 3: 25 – the Lord is good to those whose hope is in Him. o. Psalm 2:12 – Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled, How blessed are all who take refuge in Him. p. But my friends… I warn you… Do not choose the second option… 4.) [Slide 26] De-Exhortation: “What actions should we stop doing” or “What behaviors do we naturally practice that this passage tells us to stop doing?” We must stop resisting the call of the Lord. a. As you stand at the edge of that cliff faced with teaching on all sides showing you are trapped… you may think that you could find solace in the ravine below. b. Perhaps you can escape the gaze of the Almighty by throwing yourself into the chasm. c. Will you walk away from these truths? d. Will you flee the mercy of God? e. Will you continue to assure yourself that you will be found worthy. That He is not Lord. That He is not real? f. Will you continue to deceive and be deceived? g. Oh my friends… None of us are guaranteed another day. Not another moment. h. Should you cast yourself to the mercy of the ravine it may take your life. You may not land and be able to flee any longer. i. The fool has said, let us eat drink and be merry… but little did he know that the Lord would require His life that very night. j. My friends… what will you do with the Lord of All? He beckons you to come. Will you refuse again? 5.) [Slide 27 (end)] Comfort: “What comfort can we find here?” or “What peace does the Lord promise us in light of this passage of scripture?” Through the name of Jesus, all who believe in Him will receive forgiveness of sins. a. For immature or fake Christians such a message grates against them. b. They despise sermons with no moral push, no ted talk, no life hack. c. They come to be given short cuts and pointers on living the Christian life. d. But to seasoned and Christlike believers… we never tire of hearing the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ. e. True to hear again and again of our sin, to live and confess it again and again is a pain to our hearts. f. But the sweet balm of the redemption that flowed from the cross of Christ – of this we can never drink too deeply. Our bellies are never full of it. Would that we could submerge ourselves in it every day and every hour. g. To know that the through the name of Jesus we who believe are and continue to receive the forgiveness of and cleansing from our sin. h. Oh glorious truth. Oh wonderful joy. i. The Lord of all… is the Savior of sinners. Sinners like you. Sinners like me. Let me close with a Puritan Prayer. Blessed Lord Jesus, No human mind could conceive or invent the gospel. Acting in eternal grace, you are both its messenger and its message, lived out on earth through infinite compassion, applying your life to insult, injury, death, that I might be redeemed, ransomed, freed. Blessed be you, O Father, for contriving this way, Eternal thanks to you, O Lamb of God, for opening this way, Praise everlasting to you, O Holy Spirit, for applying this way to my heart. Glorious Trinity, impress the gospel on my soul, until its virtue diffuses every faculty; Let it be heard, acknowledged, professed, felt. Teach me to secure this mighty blessing; Help me to give up every darling lust to submit heart and life to its command, to have it in my will, controlling my affections moulding my understanding; To adhere strictly to the rules of true religion, not departing from them in any instance nor for any advantage in order escape calamity, inconvenience, or danger. Take me to the cross to seek glory from its infamy; Strip me of every pleasing pretense of righteousness by my own doings. O gracious Redeemer, I have neglected you too long, often crucified you, crucified you afresh by my impenitence, put you to open shame. I thank you for the patience that has borne with me so long, and for the grace that now makes me willing to be yours. O unite me to yourself with inseparable bonds, that nothing may ever draw me back from you, my Lord, my Saviour: In Jesus name I pray… Amen. Benediction: May that One, in whom we have redemption through His blood, The forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of His grace, Lavish on you all wisdom and understanding. So that you might keep your heart on the right path. Until we meet again… Go in Peace.
BUFFALO, NY- March 25, 2024 – A new #research paper was #published in Oncotarget's Volume 15 on March 14, 2024, entitled, “ABT199/venetoclax synergism with thiotepa enhances the cytotoxicity of fludarabine, cladribine and busulfan in AML cells.” ABT199/venetoclax, an inhibitor of the pro-survival BCL-2 protein, has improved AML treatment. Its efficacy in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), when combined with other chemotherapeutic drugs, has not been thoroughly investigated. In this new study, researchers Benigno C. Valdez, Bin Yuan, David Murray, Jeremy L. Ramdial, Uday Popat, Yago Nieto, and Borje S. Andersson from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and the University of Alberta demonstrate the synergistic cytotoxicity of ABT199/venetoclax with the DNA alkylator thiotepa (Thio) in AML cells. “The results may provide relevant information for the design of clinical trials using these drugs to circumvent recognized drug-resistance mechanisms when used as part of pre-transplant conditioning regimens for AML patients undergoing allogenic HSCT.” Cleavage of Caspase 3, PARP1 and HSP90, as well as increased Annexin V positivity, suggest potent activation of apoptosis by this two-drug combination; increased levels of γ-H2AX, P-CHK1 (S317), P-CHK2 (S19) and P-SMC1 (S957) indicate an enhanced DNA damage response. Likewise, the increased level of P-SAPK/JNK (T183/Y185) and decreased P-PI3Kp85 (Y458) suggest enhanced activation of stress signaling pathways. These molecular readouts were synergistically enhanced when ABT199/venetoclax and Thio were combined with fludarabine, cladribine and busulfan. The five-drug combination decreased the levels of BCL-2, BCL-xL and MCL-1, suggesting its potential clinical relevance in overcoming ABT199/venetoclax resistance. Moreover, this combination is active against P53-negative and FLT3-ITD-positive cell lines. Enhanced activation of apoptosis was observed in leukemia patient-derived cell samples exposed to the five-drug combination, suggesting a clinical relevance. “The results provide a rationale for clinical trials using these two- and five-drug combinations as part of a conditioning regimen for AML patients undergoing HSCT.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28563 Correspondence to - Benigno C.

Many today believe that Jesus prophesied a future revival of the Jews when He famously said in Matthew 23:39: “For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'” Some even believe that unless the Jews experience this revival Christ cannot return. But are these beliefs accurately representing the words of Christ? Or have they taken scripture completely out of context? Today we will find the answer using scripture to interpret scripture.

One of the most fundamental questions when it comes to salvation is: “Who does the work?” Is salvation entirely a divine effort, or are we called upon to contribute — and if so, how much? In this episode, Cameron and Mark unpack the distinction between monergism and synergism, and how it relates to justification, sanctification, grace, and the call to obedience.

To Everything a Season: Lutheran Reflections Through the Church Year
In recognition of the Commemoration of Johann Gerhard, we discuss one of Gerhard's Sacred Meditations on the The Certainty of our Salvation. What things cause us to doubt our salvation, and how can we turn to Christ to assuage our doubts?
Allen Nelson is pastor of Providence Baptist Church in Perryville, Arkansas. He's also the author of “Before the Throne: Reflections on God's Holiness,” “From Death to Life: How Salvation Works,” and “A Change of Heart: Understanding Regeneration and Why it Matters.” He also writes for Things Above, a Christian group blog dedicated to Missions, Evangelism, Theology, and Sports, which is at thingsabove.us. In addition to Things Above, he has some articles up at Founders Ministries as well. He returns this month to discuss Regeneration, which is not only the subject of his latest book, but is a great follow-up to his most recent show with us on Effectual Calling. Outline of the Discussion For this episode, the outline has been created using the AI tool Podium.page. (0:00:01) - Regeneration (9 Minutes) Alan Nelson, pastor of Providence Baptist Church and author of multiple books, shares his insights on regeneration and how it affects our understanding of salvation and the Christian life. Alan's book, "A Change of Heart: Understanding Regeneration and Why it Matters" is discussed, and how to get a copy. (0:08:43) - Regeneration's Importance (9 Minutes) Alan shares his journey exploring regeneration and its impact on other Christian doctrines. He discusses the debate between Pelagianism and Augustinianism, and how Wesley's prevenient grace and Charles Finney's views have shaped the church. Alan shares his own experience, including the decision to write his book and how he taught the doctrine of regeneration during COVID-19. (0:17:58) - Grace, Synergism, and Monergism (5 Minutes) We explore the differences between Pelagianism and Augustinianism, and examine the concept of semi-Pelagianism. We point out how dangerous this understanding of grace can be, and how it denies the sufficiency of God's grace. We also get into the Mormon teaching of 'after all we can do' and how it relates to synergism. Lastly, we discuss the concept of monergism and how it works in contrast to synergism. (0:22:38) - Doctrine of Monergism and Regeneration Discussion (10 Minutes) We get into the implications of the idea of prevenient grace and point out that it raises more questions than it answers. Allen explains how the concept of prevenient grace does not satisfy the problem of why some individuals respond to the gospel and some don't. He emphasizes how regeneration touches every area of our lives, and how it is not a process of perfection, but rather a redirection of desire and love toward Christ. The noblest desires of those who reject monergism are commendable but ultimately don't defend God's justice and fairness. (0:32:10) - Open Theism and Necessity of Regeneration (12 Minutes) We point out that Open Theism can be a logical [but errant] way to approach the problems with synergistic view of soteriology. We confront the concept of fairness as a challenge to monergistic regeneration; our attitude about someone we love who is not saved, and how the answer is to preach the gospel to them. Jesus promises that all who call on the name of the Lord will be saved; which is a refutation of a major misunderstanding of monergism, and very assuring promise. Allen shares his experience of taking the gospel to the streets of his small town, and we explain how this is a logical consequence of the very doctrine we are discussing. (0:44:19) - The Significance of Regeneration (13 Minutes) We explore the necessity of being born again and how Jesus was speaking to all of humanity when he said it. We also discuss the use of Southern vernacular ("y'all") and the differences between singular and plural of "you" in the modern English language. Finally, we look at the concept of longevity in regards to regeneration and how there is no such thing as unregeneration. (0:57:13) - Doctrinal Differences and the Holy Spirit (5 Minutes) We explore the intricate connection between regeneration and the local church.

A new research paper was published in Aging (“Aging (Albany NY)” by Medline/PubMed, “Aging-US” by Web of Science) on the cover of Volume 14, Issue 16, entitled, “Synergism of BCL-2 family inhibitors facilitates selective elimination of senescent cells.” Cellular senescence, a complex cellular response to stress characterized by a halt of cell cycle progression, is one factor contributing to aging. Accumulation of senescent cells in tissues with advancing age participates in the pathogenesis of several human age-associated diseases. Specific senescent secretome, the resistance of senescent cells to apoptotic stimuli, and lack of immune system response contribute to the accumulation of senescent cells and their adverse effects in tissues. Inhibition of antiapoptotic machinery, augmented in senescent cells, by BCL-2 protein family inhibitors represents a promising approach to eliminate senescent cells from tissues. “In this study, with the goal of decreasing the toxicity and potential onset of resistance to senolytic BCL-2 inhibitor monotherapy, we explored the effects of combined treatment covering both BCL-2 and MCL-1 anti-apoptotic factors in human cells.” Researchers David Rysanek, Pavla Vasicova, Jayaprakash Narayana Kolla, David Sedlak, Ladislav Andera, Jiri Bartek, and Zdenek Hodny from the Czech Academy of Sciences and the Danish Cancer Society Research Center aimed to explore synergistic and selective senolytic effects of anti-apoptotic BCL-2 family targeting compounds, particularly BH3 mimetics. “Using human non-transformed cells RPE-1, BJ, and MRC-5 brought to ionizing radiation-, oncogene-, drug-induced and replicative senescence, we found synergy in combining MCL-1 selective inhibitors with other BH3 mimetics.” In an attempt to uncover the mechanism of such synergy, the team revealed that the surviving subpopulation of cells resistant to individually applied ABT-737/ABT-263, MIK665, ABT-199, and S63845 BCL-2 family inhibitors showed elevated MCL-1 compared to untreated control cells indicating the presence of a subset of cells expressing high MCL-1 levels and, therefore, resistant to BCL-2 inhibitors within the original population of senescent cells. Overall, the researchers found that combining BCL-2 inhibitors can be beneficial for eliminating senescent cells, thereby enabling use of lower, potentially less toxic, doses of drugs compared to monotherapy, thereby overcoming the resistance of the subpopulation of senescent cells to monotherapy.

In this episode we discuss the books of Joshua and Judges and how they are understood in second-temple apocalyptic literature. Though not often talked about, when they are referenced, they are assimilated into the later apocalyptic tradition. The lack of references is also discussed in light of apocalypticism downplaying synergism and human involvement in ultimate salvation. Similarly, the rise of the martyrdom tradition in second-temple Judaism coincides with the development of apocalyptic hopes. Show notes Why are Joshua and Judges placed with the prophets in the Hebrew Bible? (4:23) Joshua and Judges in Jewish apocalyptic literature: 2 Baruch 53-74; 59:1-2; 60:1-2; 1 Enoch 85-90; 89:39-42; Acts 7; 13 (7:03) The elephant in the room: divine sanctioning of warfare and the killing of God's enemies (14:55) The apocalyptic tradition minimizes synergism and human partnership with God in bringing the redemption: Isaiah 63:1-6; Zechariah 14:2-3; Daniel 2:44-45; Deuteronomy 32:36; Daniel 12:7 (18:51) Martyrdom in the apocalyptic tradition: Daniel 7; 2 Maccabees 6-7 (32:27) Martyrdom, Jesus, and the apostles: Matthew 16; Luke 9; Revelation 7 (36:59)

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have favorable, dose-dependent effects on both glycemia and weight, but dual incretin agonists may permit more intensive glycemic targets with greater weight loss. In this engaging PeerView Late Night activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, host Dr. Javier Morales is joined by special guests Drs. Juan Pablo Frías and Donna H. Ryan. Together, they discuss the interrelationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, while exploring the potential role of combining glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) with GLP-1 RAs as dual incretin agonist therapy. GIP/GLP-1 RAs are evaluated in terms of their ability to personalize treatment for patients with T2DM and obesity, specifically for controlling glycemia and weight and avoiding long-term complications. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify the individual role the incretin hormone GIP plays in healthy physiology and the synergistic role it has when combined with GLP-1, Differentiate the mechanism of action of dual GIP/GLP-1 RA therapy from GLP-1 RAs and its resulting effects on glycemic control, body weight, and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM, Intensify therapy in a timely and patient-centered manner to optimize control of glycemia and weight consistent with the latest available evidence and avoid long-term complications in patients with T2DM and obesity.

In this engaging PeerView Late Night activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, host Dr. Javier Morales is joined by special guests Drs. Juan Pablo Frías and Donna H. Ryan. Together, they discuss the interrelationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity, while exploring the potential role of combining glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) with GLP-1 RAs as dual incretin agonist therapy. GIP/GLP-1 RAs are evaluated in terms of their ability to personalize treatment for patients with T2DM and obesity, specifically for controlling glycemia and weight and avoiding long-term complications. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Identify the individual role the incretin hormone GIP plays in healthy physiology and the synergistic role it has when combined with GLP-1, Differentiate the mechanism of action of dual GIP/GLP-1 RA therapy from GLP-1 RAs and its resulting effects on glycemic control, body weight, and lipid metabolism in patients with T2DM, Intensify therapy in a timely and patient-centered manner to optimize control of glycemia and weight consistent with the latest available evidence and avoid long-term complications in patients with T2DM and obesity.
