The Government Can't Save You!

If you are looking to anything or anyone except Christ for salvation, then you are deceiving yourself. Even confessing Christians continue to seek salvation in something or someone else besides Christ. Among the many idols that can draw us away from Christ, entitlement programs are surely at the top of the list, with the government being the origin of such benevolence.

The government is ordained by God do punish evildoers and maintain order in a society, but it cannot save the soul, and it definitely cannot create a utopia of some sort. Government cannot save because it is made up of sinful people that are at best instruments in the hands of the Almighty God.

Christ alone can bring salvation, ultimate justice, peace, joy, love, and prosperity. Such an absolute system will not occur in its fullness until Christ returns and imposes His right hand upon the world with wrath upon the wicked and gracious merciful love upon His sheep.

Therefore, cling to Christ, and do not put your ultimate hope in a politician or a political system.

To Him be the glory!

Too Many Toys!

A child does not need more toys and presents to know they're loved, and they certainly don't need more of them to have fun.  Here's a case in point.  Recently, our hot water went out, and there was a giant box that went with it of course.  The plumber asked me if could dispose of the box.  I told him I would just give it to the kids to play in and with.  He stated that kids always enjoy the box and paper more than the toy.  That's why I told him that we don't buy a lot of presents. They used that hot water heater box as a picture frame on one end, a slide when folded, a shower when standing up, and a house when they could climb in.  Shocker, kids don't need a lot of high priced junk to have a good time!

Your child will know he is loved by how much time you spend with him, not by how many toys he gets.  Your child will have more enjoyment with fewer toys and more boxes, strings, paper, etc. than with a boat load of breakable expensive gadgets.  He will be able to use his imagination, and he loves it. 

Therefore, take time to rethink about how you view gifts to your children and others. Spend wisely and don't go overboard.  It'll reduce raising spoiled brats, and it'll help out the old pocketbook too.  Say, when that hot water heater goes out or when that transmission goes down hill, you'll be glad you did.

Children and the Prison of Modern Psychology

Initially, one can become enticed to embrace a 'psychological disorder'. For example, if one has no control over being ADD, then it's easy to use the 'I have ADD' line to justify abhorrent and aberrant behavior. It may seem quite useful at times, especially in parenting difficult children who are like wild animals; we have three of them. and one on the way. The reality is that they don't have ADD, they just have energy, yet that energy must not go unchecked, lest it turn into disciplinary/obedience problems. Daily discipline is hard, monotonous, and even frustrating at times, yet that is the answer to unruly children, not a bottle of pills and/or a cop-out label. We live in a fallen world, and punishment (even corporal) for misconduct is required instead of misinformation and parental laziness.

The great tragedy of these labels is that one ultimately finds oneself in a hopeless prison. After using it as a convenient alibi for a while to evade work and discipline, eventually this mindset becomes debilitating. One no longer wants to simply blame 'bi-polar'; rather, one wants to to be set free from such problems. Many professing Christians become entangled in this web also, and much of that is due to defective biblical and systematic theology which leads to impotent applied theology (ie counseling, discipleship, and evangelism). What then is the answer?

Regular digestion and right understanding of Scripture always lays the groundwork for meaningful application. The Lord's Sufficient, Authoritative, Inerrant, Inspired, Holy Word is the only true answer for someone whose attitude and disposition is like a yo-yo all the time, as is the case with many of the 'disorders' that exist. 'Meds' are not the answer; a right relationship with the Living God is! Amen!

Taking Back the Rainbow: The Insult of Gay Marriage to the LORD God

If marriage is not defined as between one man and one woman for a lifetime, then it can mean anything. Gay marriage is only the tip of the ice-berg. Why not polygamy, or two men and three women, or four animals and a woman, or two boys and five men, etc? It just becomes that insane. Believe me, there are plenty of people waiting to jump on that crazy roller coaster of sin.

My greatest beef with the homosexual community is how they have hi-jacked the rainbow. The rainbow is one of the most beautiful phenomenon when it appears in the sky, for it is the great sign of God's grace to humanity as displayed before Noah after the Flood. Now it is a symbol of rebellion and hatred towards the LORD God! It's so bad that if you put a rainbow on your car, people think you are gay! What blasphemous times we live in! Amen!

However, like dinosaurs and every other created thing, we are taking them back as Ken Ham would say. The godless have stolen the things of God and claimed it for themselves, but God will not let His Name be trashed forever. We shall reopen the old wells and let the glory of God shine forth! Amen!

Therefore, may ye who are opposed to the LORD God repent while His grace is extended to you. Ye need not face the wrath of God and continue in your mire of vanity. This world of sin cannot bring satisfaction; it only brings judgment and personal disaster. Repent and be baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit! Amen!

Thanksgiving: Let Us Thank Him Who Died For Us

May we honor Christ this Thanksgiving with our hearts as we express gratitude for what He accomplished on the Cross for His beloved sheep.  We ought to be thankful for all that have, yet all else pales in comparison to the glory of the Cross of Christ.  Let us not be bitter and discontent, for our God reigns, and He has given us new life in Christ!

To Him be the glory!

Homeschool: Thinking Biblically

Why has homeschooling become so popular, and why do we tend to see it growing amongst Christians especially? The answer is that the Biblical worldview requires parental responsibility on education. As public education and even much of private education become more infused with naturalism, the more hostile these outlets become to Christianity. Combating 40 hours a week of secular indoctrination with a few hours here and there at home and Church is virtually fruitless.

For this reason, many Christian parents have decided to homeschool their children instead, which is not new, for this has been done for millennia. Not only does the actual education tend to be far better (more one-one-interaction, regular field-trips, etc.), but it also gives the parent more authority in raising a child in the fear and admonition of the Lord. This is what the anti-Christians condemn, for they desire nothing more than to lead our children astray with a set of values that lead to moral and salvific bankruptcy.

Home-schooling for its own sake is meaningless, but, when it is done for the right reason, the glory of God shines all the brighter as each family takes seriously the importance of raising a child according to His Word.

The Underrating of Church History

The value of Church history is underrated today because post-modern skeptical deconstructionism reigns supreme. When one takes the Scripture out of the picture, one no longer has a basis for knowing history. It becomes arbitrary and impossible to document. This mentality has permeated into the Church, and it has been devastating.

Heresies that were once dealt with have reemerged with a vengeance, especially ones like the Jehovah's Witnesses cult. Because we failed to teach the Bible as authoritative, which in turn grounds history itself, many have been deceived into this cult. Sadly, these same people think that it is novel, yet it is just a repackaged form of Arianism (early Church heresy) with its focus on good deeds and the denial of Christ as fully God.

This and many other heresies are only the tip of the ice-berg. Rather, let us stand upon God's Word, which alone forms the basis of any rationality, and proclaim the truth of God's Word that has been delivered to the prophets and kept by our fathers that have heralded orthodox truth.

The Resurrection: An Inconvenient Truth

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central question of Christianity, for it rises and falls upon the bodily resurrection of Christ.  Everything He said and did was cemented by His resurrection.  For this reason, many fables have been developed to deny His resurrection.  The stolen body, the swoon theory, the flat out denial of Jesus ever living to begin with, etc. are all vain attempts to deny Christ, who is Lord of lords and King of kings.

We just cannot get past the marvel that is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.  There were so many converts to Christ from pagan cultures right from the start.  The God of the Bible is different than all the pagan deities, and the resurrection of Christ from the dead magnifies this.  Vast numbers of people literally forsook their old ways of paganism to worship the Living Christ! 

Such mass conversion would not have happened apart from the resurrection.  To wave the magic wand of materialism and simply dismiss everything is both dishonest and deceptive.  Explaining away the resurrection is a fool's work, for it forces one to deny the birth of Christianity via the resurrection and its mass propagation shortly thereafter. 

The glory of it all is that the Apostles were willing to die for a truth that no sane man would do if he knew it were a lie.  Maybe one man might die for a lie, but to believe that all of the Apostles (along with many affiliates) would do so is beyond comprehension.  Though such does not prove the resurrection, their willingness to suffer immensely for what they knew was the truth is completely consistent with reality. 

The truth of the matter is that men steal from the Truth of the Resurrection in order to argue against it, for it is God in Christ that makes sense of the world and gives us an accounting for law, knowledge, ethics, etc.  They despise the Lord of hosts, but they need Him to justify their very ability to argue and complain in a meaningful way, for, without Him, they cannot even justify the reality of their own existence.

Worldview Clash: The Wickedness of Marxism and its Opposition to Christianity

Marxism is fundamentally flawed in two ways. One is its core belief about man and the other is how it seeks to level the field of humanity into a classless society through class warfare.

Marxism assumes the inherent goodness of man, a noble savage of sorts.  It teaches that man is inherently good; it is his surroundings that corrupt him. Furthermore, private ownership is considered inherently evil.  Everyone is to share in the wealth and none are to have more than another, so it then right to desire from those who have more than oneself.  Man needs to redistribute the wealth and thus create a great eternal utopia.  Hence comes the motto: from each according to his ability and to each according to his need. 

What does the Bible say about this?

In the Bible, man is declared a sinner and cannot save himself.  He is wicked from the heart, and, though his surroundings do affect him, his sin is from conception, so he is held accountable before a Holy God. Marxism denies this because to accept this doctrine would destroy any hopes of a Marxist utopia, so the God of the Bible is thrown out totally.

Furthermore, Marxist philosophy is the pinnacle of breaking the 10th commandment not to envy.  Marxism does not honor the one who is successful; rather, it steals from the person who is successful and gives to the one who is envious.

Therefore, it should not surprise us to see that Marxism always fails because man is inherently sinful, and any attempt to divide the spoil equally will always result in a devastated economy.  Those who work hard will be taken advantage of by those who work little, and eventually the hard worker will likewise become slow of hand.

At this point, the only way to get men to work is by the sword, and this is enforced by the ruling elite who use brutality in the name of spreading the wealth in their quest of a classless utopia. Ironically, as this elite seizes power, their sin fuels their desire for more, and they become the oppressors themselves.  What foolishness!

What does the Bible say of private ownership and work.  It encourages work and each man receives the fruit of his labor, but greed and exploitation of labor are condemned.  However, when it comes to giving, we do not have the right as Christians to use the arm of the state to compel charity.  We only have the power to proclaim the gospel and let it take root in the heart of repentant men.

The answer then is not to envy those who have more; rather, we are to encourage honest labor and encourage those with wealth to give generously as He has blessed them.  Nevertheless, we are not to envy their wealth, lest we be ensnared by greed and idolatry.

Now, let us proclaim the gospel, and let Him who is King of kings of Lord of lords change the hearts of men to His glory! Amen!

Studying the Old Testament to Understand the New Testament

Many people come to the New Testament and become lost in its many allusions to the Old Testament.  However, a thorough understanding of the Old Testament is critical in understanding the Person and Work of Christ in the New Testament.  Christ is the fulfillment of the New Testament because He is the Messiah who came in space and time to redeem a people to Himself.

A helpful way to understand the New Testament is to read the context of the passages that are alluded to from the Old Testament.  For example, Romans Chapter 4 speaks at length of Abraham and his justification by faith, so a good way to better comprehend the gravity of this passage is to go back and read through the accounts of Abraham in Genesis.

Because the Old Testament is most of the Bible, a regular digestion of the Old Testament is required to further grasp the glories found in the Work of Christ. As we chew upon the many accounts, prophetic passages, etc., we see how awesome Jesus Christ is, and so we are all the more thankful for what He has accomplished for His beloved sheep.  In turn, this roots out bitterness, envy, gossip, and all other forms of idolatry and wickedness.

Go now, and read your Old Testament!

Scandal at Penn State University: A Christian Response

Allegations of sodomy and other immoral behavior have wreaked havoc upon Penn State University and its leadership.  Head Football Coach Paterno was forced to resign, which took a career of fame and turned it into brutal shame.  What can we learn from this?  When scandals occur within the Church, how are Christians supposed to handle such things?

Church discipline must me be swift and immediate, for, when a black eye smears the Church, a quick response reduces the damage and elevates the justice of a Holy God.  Likewise, if the act is criminal, it must be reported to the police as soon as possible, for the subject has not only violated the Church but also the state in its attempt to maintain order by prosecuting the wicked.

When the Church fails in one or both of the above responsibilities, a great blight continues and the faithful are shamed.  The glory of God is tarnished among men, and the Holy Spirit is grieved.  Nevertheless, God always has His vengeance, and He never fails to vindicate His Holy Name.

Finally, we are to urge repentance that the fallen saint might be restored to fellowship. That may require the loss of a position and even jail time, but God forgives the man who repents and turns to Christ.

Ultimately, all of us are rightly condemned to Eternal Hell, yet Christ laid down His life for His sheep making atonement for their sins.  Let us never forget the grace He has given to miserable men like us who are chief of sinners, and let us never boast in anyone except Christ.

Christian Unity

In the midst of much disunity over the past two thousand years, the Christian often longs for true unity amongst the brethren.  Even among the orthodox, there is disunity.  However, the True Church that consists of all believers from the beginning of mankind until now shall all one day sing unto the Lord with one voice of unity. 

Doctrine does divide, but it also purifies the Church and prevents rank heresy from continuing unchecked in the Church.  This was especially the case during the Reformation.  There was an outward unity within Europe in the Roman Catholicism, but the core doctrines of salvation had been nearly abandoned over hundreds of years of papal rule.

Nevertheless, the remnant shall never be totally dissolved, for the gospel shined forth ever so brightly during the Reformation. The Sovereignty of God, Justification by Faith, and other key doctrines were reclaimed, and the gospel marched forward changing the lives of millions of people.  Sadly, splintering did occur because of our inability to agree on doctrines like the Lord Supper, Baptism, and the role of the State. Even so, the gospel was propelled forth in an evangelistic explosion across the world. 

In the growth of missionary enterprises we see that the Lord will accomplish his purposes in spite of  conflicts amongst His people.  His truth does march on, and His kingdom grows ever stronger even when it appears to be in turmoil and confusion.

Veteran's Day

Veteran's Day has become a time to remember those have served this great country in an effort to preserve liberty. Tragically, that liberty is being trampled upon with greater fervor each day.  The unborn are slaughtered, Christ is maligned, debauchery is on the rise, the family is always under attack, debt is out of control, and a litany of other issues pervade our society.

Therefore, let us honor our veterans by advocating Biblical principles that make America a beacon of hope to many persecuted people groups around the world.  Otherwise, we will end up in the ash heap of history like other fallen kingdoms, republics, and empires.

Character Assassination and the State of American Politics

For thousands of years, politics has been rife with scandal and character assassinations, and this year's presidential election is no different.  Allegations are effective in politics because they sow seeds of doubt, and that is the very point of mudslinging.  It doesn't have to be true, it just needs to knock the other guy off of his horse.

However, as Christians, we must look at a person's track record of character and not simply go with the whim of the media every time there is a piece of hearsay.  Would we want to be smeared on hearsay? Certainly not.  Therefore, we ought not engage in such practices.  We must rise above that and argue on substance and not stoop to unfounded mudslinging. 

Truly, loving your enemy is a hard thing to do, but it is what God requires of us.  Resilience in the face of adversity and boldness in declaring the truth do not require us to become the dreggs of society to fight evil.  After all, Joseph rose to viceroy of Egypt when he was smeared, so let us take heart and rest in the Sovereign God who rules all things.

Training Daugters

Daughters are a tremendous gift from the Lord. I personally have three young ones, 3, 2, and 1 to be exact. They have a special place in creation, for daughters today are mothers tomorrow.

Therefore, will you raise your daughters to be godly mothers, or will your raise them to feminists who fail to raise the next generation in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Make no mistake, a woman raised as and to be a feminist has far few children if any.  For this reason, feminism self-destructs because it produces little or no offspring.

Yet again, the Christian worldview reigns supreme, no matter how often her enemies assail her foundation, which is the Word of God. To Him be the glory!

Ye Idolatrous Generation: Part III

Ye Idolatrous Generation

Understanding Luke 4:16-30 In The Context of Elijah and Elisha

Part III: Elisha Heals the Gentile Naaman (2 Kings 5:1-27)

The Hardness of Jews Opens the Door to the Gentiles

--Many Jews had a great hatred for the pagan Gentiles in general, even their kin, the Samaritans.

--They were hypocritical in their worship of God, for their hearts were far from Him.

--They were not judged because of the detestation of godless pagan practices, but were judged because of their arrogant hypocritical hearts.

--They become enraged when their hardness was compared to the generation of Elijah and Elisha, for it meant that God would turn from them and bring salvation to the Gentiles, who were unworthy.

--In the account with Elisha and Naaman, we see the mercy and grace of God to a pagan, while judgment rested upon the Israelites. Such would soon happen to them in a short time.

The Love of God to Naaman, The Leprous Gentile

--The idolatry of Israel is great, and the people are hardened, yet God turns to the Gentiles to display His love and glory, which shames the nation given the Law of God.

--The Lord had given Naaman great victory for the Syrians, yet he was a leper.

--In one raid, they took an Israelite girl who, in God’s Providence, was used to direct Naaman to Elisha.

--This Israelite girl was concerned for the welfare of this Gentile man, yet she was a slave and did not withhold such knowledge to her mistress.

--Naaman requests leave from the King, and the King of Syria obliges and sends a letter with him.

--Naaman brought much wealth with him, yet the King of Israel saw this as provocation and tore his clothes, a sign of immense distress, for only God could do such a miraculous healing.

--When Elisha hears of the King’s distress, he sends word to the King to send Naaman to him.

--Notice that Elisha wants Naaman to know that there is a prophet in Israel, of which will ultimately show the glory of God against the pagan idols.

--Naaman came in his earthly glory to meet Elisha, yet he is angered in that Elisha does not come to the door. He has come all this way, and Elisha tells him what to do via another.

--Naaman storms out, yet his servants urge him to do as Elisha has commanded him.

--Naaman humbles himself and goes into the Jordan River as prescribed.

--Not only was he cleansed, but his flesh was restored as to that of a child!

--One can only imagine the joy, relief, and thankfulness that came from Naaman, the pagan Gentile!

--He offered gifts, but Elisha was pointed in that this was to be shown as the free gift of God.

--Interestingly, he was distraught about his paganism, and even asked for forgiveness in advance for assistance of the King in the pagan temple. Even so, Elisha told him to go in peace.

--Ironically, Elisha’s servant went before Naaman to claim some prize, yet his greed resulted in leprosy.

Application

--God is not a respecter of wealth, language, ethnicity, etc in the giving of His grace, which leaves no room for bitterness or envy.

--God is Sovereign, and He is active and not merely reactive in bringing His purposes about, so this should drive us to humility and comfort as we rest in the arms of a Mighty and Gracious God.

--God is Love, and He magnifies His love to those who deserve it the least, namely sinful man from all tribes, nations and tongues, so let us love, rejoice, and worship Him with great reverence and humility.

--God’s grace is freely given, ultimately in Christ, so it is not to be bought with silver and gold, and to think we can profit from God’s grace is greedy and deserves condemnation.

Ye Idolatrous Generation: Part II

Ye Idolatrous Generation

Understanding Luke 4:16-30 In The Context of Elijah and Elisha

Part II: Drought, Fire From Heaven, and the Coming of Rain (1 Kings 18)

The Angry Mob in Luke 4: What Drove Them to Such Rage?

--Though the specific account of Mt. Carmel is not mentioned in Luke 4, the drought era in which it referred clearly compared the angry mob to the apostate Israelites that lived during Elijah’s era.

--They detested Jesus’ proclamation of Messiahship, and they despised Christ for comparing them to an era that was judged harshly because of idolatry, an era of evil magnified at Mt. Carmel.

--Instead of repenting, they expressed hostility, yet God uses their hardness to reach Gentiles.

--Likewise, we can receive the admonition and repent or seek to drive Christ off of the cliff in rage.

--As we study Fire From Heaven, might we repent when our sin is exposed and not rebel, lest we come under judgment, for this ancient Biblical admonition against idolatry is just as relevant today.

May The True God Come Forth!

The Drought Is Severe: 1 Kings 18:1-20

--Elijah has now been commanded by God to confront King Ahab and tell him that rain was coming.

--The drought is strong and Elijah has a strong confrontation with Ahab exposing his sin.

--Elijah then charges Ahab to send all Israel and the false prophets to Mt. Carmel.

The Confrontation: 1 Kings 18:20-40

--Elijah condemns their wicked attempt to worship the LORD and Baal, and commands them to choose.

--They remain silent and have no idea what is about to take place.

--Elijah admits that he is outnumbered by an incredible margin, yet he is unmoved in his faith.

--Two bulls are prepared, one by the false prophets unto Baal and one by Elijah to the LORD.

--The hand of man shall set no fire; a plea to the divine is the only acceptable means for ignition.

--They are given the choice of which bull to prepare but are commanded again not to light it.

--They called out to this vain idol from morning until noon but to no avail.

--Elijah mocks them with several sharp remarks thereby magnifying their ludicrous efforts.

--Their efforts become desperate as they lacerate themselves in futile attempts to light the sacrifice.

--Man in his depravity would rather mutilate himself rather than bow to God Almighty.

--There was still no response from Baal; now it was Elijah’s turn.

--Elijah calls the people in. He rebuilds the altar, digs a trench around it, and places the sacrifice on it.

--Three times he commands them to pour water on the sacrifice and the wood; Elijah is determined to make a point about who the real God is.

--Giving all worship to God, Elijah now beseeches the LORD to make it known that He is God in Israel.

--With ferocity, the Fire of the LORD falls from Heaven, and even the water in the trench is licked up!

--The people fall on their faces declaring twice that the LORD is God, and the prophets of Baal are killed.

The Coming of Rain: 1 Kings 18:41-46

--The LORD in His mercy brings forth rain as he promised.

--God is a Just Judge, yet his mercy and grace are abundant all the more.

Application

--God always meets idolatry with severe judgment, so do not presume upon the grace of God, O sinner.

--No generation is without blemish, so do not turn from the conviction of the LORD.

--There is no salvation in idolatry, only judgment and despair.

--Ask God to expose the idols of your heart, and repent from them; put off sin and put on Christ.

--Meditate upon the justice and holiness of God that you might be ever thankful of His Sovereign Grace.

Ye Idolatrous Generation: Part I

Ye Idolatrous Generation

Understanding Luke 4:16-30 In The Context of Elijah and Elisha

Part I: Elijah Goes to Zarephath (1 Kings 17:8-17:24)

Christ Condemns an Idolatrous Nation

--Jesus was admired from a young age, and many were glorifying Him in His official ministry, yet, in Luke 4, the crowd wanted to cast Him off of the cliff. Why?

--He never ceased to challenge the status quo, and He commanded their attention when he announced the fulfillment of the ancient Messianic prophecy.

--Furthermore, not only does He equate Himself with God, but He then implicitly compares them to the Israelites of old who lived during the age of the prophets Elijah and Elisha.

--They are enraged, yet the admonition against idolatry and hypocrisy is just as clear today.

--For this reason, examining the three particular accounts involving Elijah and Elisha mentioned by Christ will likewise warn us to take heed lest we fall.

Elijah Heads to the Gentiles

Background

--The days are heavy with idolatry, and now the rains of heaven have been shut up, even the dew!

--They will be shut up until the showdown occurs at Mt. Carmel.

--The drought has now become severe, for the water source that Elijah was using has dried up.

The Divine Plan: Mercy to the Gentile Widow and Her Son but Condemnation to Israel

--God sends Elijah out to Zarephath, which is in a pagan region, and a widow will feed him.

--God could have sent Elijah anywhere, but He uses this to condemn that generation and one to come.

--Elijah heads out in great faith, for he is in dire need himself, and he meets this Gentile widow at the gate just as God has promised. What a faithful God we serve! Amen!

--He told her to bring him some water, and then food, but, when he asked for food, she turned sullen.

--She was on her last batch of flour, and she was hopeless.

--It might seem that God has brought Elijah to a woman who could not provide for his needs. You would be right because it is God that provides for needs, and He was about to show His power and great glory!

--Elijah does not blink. Immediately, he gives a word of comfort, for the Living God is merciful.

--She will not lack, yet she is to bring him some food first and then bake for her and her son.

--In baking for Elijah first she shows her faithfulness, for she had so little left, but God delivered.

--She not only had plenty for the immediate future, but the oil and flour was not spent for a long time and would not be spent until the Lord sent rain after the glory at Mt. Carmel.

--Remember, Israel is under heavy drought, and, because of the context of the passage and close proximity of this pagan land to Israel, this land was under drought as well.

--God did not send Elijah to a poor widow in Israel that was in great need, but He has shown mercy to this pagan woman instead! Woe to those who have known God’s Word and rejected it!

--Elijah continues his stay with this household, and the son becomes severely ill, yet the widow is stricken with grief as she sees this as punishment for past sin. The widow saw her sin, and God was gracious to her, but Israel did not see her sin, nor did many in the generation of Christ.

--God uses Elijah to bring this child back from the dead, which is a powerful miracle of the LORD.

--She now extols the One True God all the more. This is a Gentile, but Israel remains hardened and stiff necked under its godless rulers suffering under immense judgment.

Application

--God is serious about his holiness, and will not tolerate idolatry in any form or generation.

--God is faithful to his sheep and provides for them according to His good will and purpose.

--The Gentiles are included in the God’s Elect, so let us humbly repent and be thankful to God.
