Great men's study again yesterday morning - thanks to the men who came out.
Last week we talked to the pastor in Florida who made national news because his church was faithful to a member, and to Christ, to call her to repent for blatant sexual immorality. She called in the media to defend her sin. Even the Drudge Report got a hold of it. The media loved her and hated the church. Thanks, Scott Christmas and Grace Community Church of Jacksonville, FL.
This week we studied the church problem of self-willed elders. I gave each of the men a copy of the introduction of my upcoming book (D.V.). They correctly analyzed the problems and demonstrated some good wisdom.
Then we talked about an approach to defending Christianity based on Proverbs 26:4-5:
Do not answer a fool according to his folly, Or you will also be like him. Answer a fool as his folly deserves, That he not be wise in his own eyes.
You could see the eyes light up! Not only does the unbeliever has no answer for what he believes, he has no answer for what he does not believe. This allows us to show him the God of Scripture compared to his futility. Wrapping your mind around that one takes some time but it's well worth it.
Baptisms tomorrow at Rockville Baptist. Be praying for the four people testifying to Christ.
