All us it did was what he thought was showing some respect.

That doesn't want your respect, you want your obedience.

Don't tell me that you advocate the slaughter of babies in the womb.

Don't tell me you want to destroy masculinity, femininity, marriage.

You can make any pledge you want.

Don't mock God.

The sinfulness of mankind is as ancient as the Garden of Eden.

Yet these days, doesn't it seem that the world has crossed into a new dimension of depravity?

One that is marked by social disorder, violent crime, government corruption,

the rejection of biblical morality, and the acceptance of those things by many of the loudest

and most powerful voices in our society.

In the face of such decline, what does God expect from His church?

To help you think biblically about the current chaos, follow along now with John MacArthur here on

And I can promise you the reward will be just exactly what you would expect when you give attention to the Word of God.

I think we need to be reminded that the world, not just in its social perspectives,

but even in its political perspectives, is never intended to be a friend of the church,

or an ally in any way.

Listen to the words of our Lord in John 15, 18.

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.
