TXT: But what about Hitler?
July 19th, 2009
Question: How do we know Hitler is not the Antichrist?
Answer: Hitler was not the Antichrist. This is clear because the prophecies concerning the Antichrist remain unfulfilled. For example, look at 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10 and Revelation 13:2-8. We see that the coming Antichrist will seat himself in the temple and declare himself to be God. He will perform signs and false miracles to convince people of his claims. He will even appear to have come back to life from the dead. He will be killed by the Lord, without human agency, when Christ returns. None of these things found fulfillment in Hitler, so he cannot have been the Antichrist. But, as Paul says, “the mystery of lawlessness is already at work” (2 Thess 2:7). Evil men will come, “even now many antichrists have arisen” (1 Jn 2:18), but they will all be eclipsed by the man of lawlessness (the Antichrist) described in Scripture.

TXT: Is it sin not to serve?
June 18th, 2009
Question: Why is it sin if you are not serving? What is serving?
Answer:
John
but to each one is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.
All Christians have been gifted by God for the good of others. 1 Corinthians 12:4-30 and Romans 12:3-8 both describe how the Spirit of God gives a variety of spiritual gifts to believers so that the church would grow (spiritually & numerically) as believers utilize their gifts. Ephesians 4:16 emphasizes that the growth of the church body is contigent upon “the proper working of each individual part.”
God has gifted every Christian SO THAT they would minister to others. That is why Peter writes,
As each one has received a gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. (1 Pet 4:10)
Your ability to minister is a stewardship from God, for which you will give account to Him. Just like the money, food and clothing which He provides to you, He calls you to use your spiritual gift in a way that brings Him glory (1 Pet 4:11).
Is it a sin not to serve? YES! You’re commanded to. Jesus calls you to be a servant, “for even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:42-45).
The Most Widely Known Preacher
June 16th, 2009
“Someone has written,
There is a preacher of the old school but he speaks as boldly as ever. He is not popular, though the world is his parish and he travels every part of the globe and speaks in every language. He visits the poor, calls upon the rich, preaches to people of every religion and no religion, and the subject of his sermon is always the same. He is an eloquent preacher, often stirring feelings which no other preacher could, and bringing tears to eyes that never weep. His arguments none are able to refute, nor is there any heart that has remained unmoved by the force of this appeals. He shatters life with his message. Most people hate him; everyone fears him. His name? Death. Every tombstone is his pulpit, every newspaper prints his text, and someday every one of you will be his sermon.”
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthians, (Chicago: Moody Press, 1996, c1984), 441.
