Hello, friend, I'm Phil Johnson, and you're listening to Grace to You, featuring the Bible teaching

of John MacArthur. We're changing our schedule today to bring you what we trust will be a timely

study from God's Word. You've no doubt heard about the shocking assassination of Charlie Kirk,

who was killed last week while speaking to students on a university campus.

Charlie admired John MacArthur and was a friend of our ministry, and Charlie's tragic death

is just one more reminder of how depraved the world is.

It also reminds us of something Jesus said that those who follow him would be hated and possibly

even killed for his sake. And yet we also trust that God will cause even this tragedy to work

for good. And we find strength in the fact that scripture doesn't leave us in the dark

when it comes to how Christians should respond to the wickedness of this world.

That was the theme that John MacArthur examined in the messages we're going to air today and tomorrow.

John was also speaking on a university campus when he taught these lessons,

but they are important for listeners of all ages. And even though John

preached these messages more than a decade ago, the content is timeless because God's word is timeless.

So with a series preached on the campus of the Masters University, here is John MacArthur

now on Grace to You to show you how to think and act in evil days.

We live in a society unlike any in the past.

We live in a world of electronic media and mass communication, relentless visual images and enhancements, we see everything.

We see everything that happens in the world of any significance and we see it again and

again and again and again and again.

We're not isolated from anything.

Every catastrophe, every calamity, every cataclysm, every disaster, every tragedy, everything is paraded
