Good read. I liked the Spurgeon quote it’s from his August 20 Evening reading.
Note Mike’s highlights.
And always…
However, what we must never forget is that we are not to return evil with evil. When we are accused and reviled because of our uncompromising stance, we are instructed by our Lord to rejoice (χαιρετε) and be glad (αγαλλιασθε). To χαιρετε is to be full of cheer while to be αγαλλιασθε is to jump for joy to be exceedingly glad and full of rejoicing. I personally find this difficult.
However, when we debate correctly, we can stand in our assigned place on the battle line, bearing our godly armor and ready to give as good as we take from the foes of God’s truth. We must resolve to remain separate from the world and its ways.
In yesterday’s post I mentioned finding Dr. MLJ’s sermons on Ephesians 6, I intend to at least go through all of them as he preaches on the Armor of God.
