One of the greatest comforts in the Christian life is obeying today’s scripture and resting in its promises; casting the burdens of life on the Lord and resting confident in His promises of power and protection as we do.
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Pleasing God, Making Disciples of Jesus Christ
Old Testament
We have all heard the words “Experience is the best teacher.” Or maybe something about “learning in the school of hard knocks.” Likely there are other pithy sayings out there on how we learn about life.
This Lord’s Day evening we are privileged to have Stan Allaby preach for us. Pastor Stan was baptized, interned, and ordained at QBC and it is always a delight to host him in our pulpit. He will be preaching on a topic of greatest importance – eternity.
This Lord’s Day, Eliphaz continues to talk and the second half of his speech to Job, he actually speaks truth about the horrible condition unbelievers find themselves before God. He will give us five descriptions of what a person’s life outside of Christ is like. Such awareness should remind ourselves of what the Gospel has delivered us from and intensify our burden for those outside of Christ.
Mention the name “Job” in a conversation among Christians and immediately two things will likely emerge – suffering and patience.
This Lord’s Day, round two of the dialogues begin with Eliphaz offering his second speech. What we hear from him is harsh and reveals two things we must guard against – a destructive tongue that harms with words and a heart that is unteachable, set on its own ways and understanding. Both are warnings to heed if we want to be effective and compassionate brothers and sisters ministering to one another in love.
