Today I'm going to speak to you on the topic of the laughter of God.

The laughter of God.

And I want to speak to you about it, and we're going to discuss God's relationship to politics.

We're going to be talking about a lot of different things, God's sovereignty.

Would you take your Bibles, please, and turn them to Psalm Chapter 2. Psalm Chapter 2.

And many of you have your Bible. Many of you may not. You may find it on your phone.

Wherever you are, be sure to turn to Psalm 2.

Now, Psalm 2 has 12 verses, four different sections of three verses apiece.

I was telling the folks in the early service that I think that three times four is equal

to 12.

As long as here in California, we are here and we do count, I think as long as I'm right

90% of the time, who in the world cares about the other 5%?

So what we're going to do is to look at this psalm and see its four sections and it has four voices.

The first voice is the voice of the nations. It is a voice of rebellion. Chapter 2, verse three verses.

Why do the nations rage and the people's plot in vain the kings of the earth set

themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the lord and against his anointed saying

let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us the The voice of the nations, the voice of rebellion,

let's get rid of God. Now I want to explain to you that when it comes to politics, there are two

errors that are made. The first error and the second one I'll tell you later in the message,

but the first error that is made one I'll tell you later in the message, but the first error

that is made is this, namely that we underestimate the amount of damage that a bad government

can do.
