Job: When the Righteous Suffer (Part 1 & 2) - John Piper



Job Doesn't Surrender

"Job regards this party line as utterly out of sync with the way things really are. In 9:22–24 he says,

It is all one; therefore I say, [God] destroys both the blameless and the wicked. When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent. The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges — if it is not he, who then is it?
Job never surrenders his belief in the sovereignty of God, but he knows it's too simple to say that things go better on this earth for all the righteous.

Job insists that he is not guilty as charged. He is righteous. He prays in 10:6–7, "You seek out my iniquity and search for my sin, although you know that I am not guilty." - Extracted from http://www.desiringgod.org/messages/job-when-the-righteous-suffer-part-1




"Are God's Ways Right Simply Because He Is Almighty God? 

This is disturbing argument. Does God mean that we are to submit to the justice of his ways simply because he has a powerful arm? Are we supposed to acknowledge his right simply because he has might? Is something right and good just because God does it?

I think the answer to that question is yes and no. On the one hand, there is no greater reality than God with which we can judge God's actions. He would not be God if he submitted to something outside himself.

But on the other hand, when we say the sentence, "God is good," or, "God always does what is right," God wants us to mean more than simply, "God is God." He wants us to see that his might does not make right in the sense that it could be capricious and arbitrary and irrational and nevertheless right. Instead he wants us to see that his might is purposeful." - Extracted from http://www.desiringgod.org/messages/job-when-the-righteous-suffer-part-2

Should Christians Keep The Sabbath? - A Refutation of Seventh Day Adventism and the Hebrew Roots Movement


YOUTUBE VIDEO: Seventh Day Adventism Theology Debunked


This video in book form HERE.
This film is a detailed study of the bible about the concept of the Sabbath.
As the Sabbath cannot be full understood without a good understanding of the scriptures this film is also a study on the different covenants in the Bible, such as the Abrahamic and the Mosaic. This is a study for every Christian, not just people concerned about the Sabbath, as it is the story of the Gospel. I hope it will help you understand the plan of God more and praise Him for His goodness to us. made by: http://chriswhiteministries.com
