The following sermon is by John MacArthur, pastor, author, and Bible teacher with Grace to You.

If you've never contacted Grace to you, we want to send you a free booklet by John called How to Prepare for Christ's Return.

The Bible says to fix your hope on the Lord's return, but until Christ comes back, how should you spend your days?

This booklet answers that important question.

Request your free copy of How to Prepare for Christ's return by writing to prepare at gty.org.

That's prepare at gty.org. This offer is good in North America and Europe through December 2025, and now unleashing God's

truth one verse at a time. Here is Grace to You Bible teacher John MacArthur.

It is because our God is faithful that we fully trust him. He is faithful to his nature, faithful to his word, faithful to his promise,

and never varies. In that faithfulness, we have found our rest and our security. Now, obviously,

it comes to me today to speak to all of you who are listening with a view

toward the current issues that all of us are very much aware of.

And so I mentioned earlier in the week that I would like to pose the question this morning, and

the question is who's to blame for the riots?

That's the question.

And to answer that from the scripture, from the Word of God.

We're obviously living in very bizarre times that have produced massive fear and confusion.

On top of that our society is drowning in a sea of lies, lies about virtually everything,

and lies on top of fear and confusion create an almost fatal insecurity and a devastating chaos.

We have little confidence in believing what politicians say or what health officials say or what social activists say or what health officials say, or what social activists say, or what university professors

say, or what media says, or frankly what religious leaders say, we have been lied to

so constantly.

And there is one to whom we can turn and always hear the truth.
