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.

Welcome to Grace to you with John MacArthur. I'm your host Phil Johnson.

Thanks for joining us today as John launches a timely study that's going to help you

make sense of, well, the confusion and the

chaos and the unrighteousness that seem to have reached new heights these days and is continuing

to rise. We call this series The World versus the Kingdom of

God. John the messages we're going to be looking at over these next few weeks. You originally

preach these sermons about three years ago, but if anything, they're only

more timely today, which is a reflection of the fact that the issues that prompted this study, they're still all around us, and now as much that fill to the issue that scripture is eternally relevant. It is more relevant than

anything. It's more relevant than the latest blog or the latest book or the

latest newscast or the latest anything. It is the living and eternal word of God and

when you look into the word of God to understand the world and life in the

world, you're getting a timeless answer.

And that's exactly what this series turned out to be.

I was trying to help our church people understand COVID.

I was trying to help them understand what was going on with the government and with the nation and with

the world.

Every week I would come up with another thing to try to give them understanding from the

word of God.

And as we went week after week after week we accumulated this sort of body

of content that does seem today, maybe even more relevant because we understand more how true those biblical realities really are.
