It goes without saying, I think, and yet it needs to be said, that this is a highlight of my ministry life. I am a recipient of God’s blessing, poured out through John Piper. And I have been, for many years, indebted to him for his writings and his preaching. There aren’t a whole lot of preachers that I listen to. He is one, at the top of the list, and it’s just an honor for me to be here, a joy to come and be a part of the Desiring God conference.
I trust that in the process of me being abundantly blessed already, I may be able, by the grace of God, to leave you with a small blessing, but if not, it will have been well worth it for me alone to be here just to enjoy the fellowship.
The Need for Endurance It’s a big subject to talk about, to stand and to endure. I remember as a young boy, my dad reminded me of the words of the apostle Paul, “Having done all, to stand” (Ephesians 6:13; all Scripture quotations from the NASB). And he said to me when I was very young, “A lot of people have done a lot of things, but when the smoke clears and the dust settles, they’re not standing.” And he directed me in those early years to the words of the apostle Paul, where he said, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith” (2 Timothy 4:7). And he challenged me very early in my life to make that my goal. He went to heaven two years ago at the age of 91, and into his 91st year was still teaching a Bible class every Sunday.
His father, my grandfather, died at a much earlier age of cancer. I remember as a small boy standing by his bed when I think I was about 9 or 10, and my dad saying to him, “Dad, is there anything you want?” And he said, “I want to preach one more sermon.” You see, he had prepared one and didn’t get to preach it. It’s like fire in your bones. So my dad took his notes, printed them up, and passed out the sermon at his funeral. By the way, the title of the sermon was Heavenly Records. So he preached on heaven from heaven, and that’s how he went out. I have a great legacy of men who have been faithful to the very end.
As John said, I’ve been at Grace Community Church for almost 40 years. Can you imagine those poor souls? I’ve been baptizing and seeing people come to Christ to the third generation. Last Sunday night I baptized two more of my own grandchildren, having baptized my own children. I stood in the waters and heard the precious testimonies of Ty and Olivia from two different families of my children, and could hardly contain my gratitude to God for his grace in their lives through that church. I really do believe that when people say, “What’s been the greatest influence on the life of your children?” the answer of course is, the work of the Spirit of God, but beyond that, it is the tremendous, relentless, comprehensive, and unified effort of a whole congregation of people to bring to bear the truth on their young lives. So it has been my delight to be in one church all these years and to see my family grow in that church.
An Enduring Ministry I really have lived in my church life on the backside of when you’re supposed to leave and nobody wants you. Several times during the life of our church I thought that I should leave the church. I walked into a staff meeting one day to such a surprise. I had invested in five young guys, discipled them personally, loved them, met with them early hours of the morning during the week and went over spiritual things and prayed with them and built them into a staff of pastors who worked alongside of me. I walked in one day and I said, “I just want to tell you guys how much I love you,” to which one of them responded, “Well, if you think we’re your friends, you got another thing coming, buddy.” And there was a mutiny on the spot. They tried to overthrow my role as pastor and take me out of the pulpit. The sad fallout of that was four out of the five left the ministry for life. It was more than I could bear, and I would’ve gone if there was anywhere to go. That was about eight years in.One Reason John MacArthur Made The Essential Church Movie - Explained || Essential Church DVDBTWN News2023-08-04 | Support BTWN: biblethumpingwingnut.com/copy-of-tim

And the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger and fury and great wrath, cast them into another land, as it is this day.’”
This is such a profoundly, mysterious work of God that verse 29 says, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.” There are some things God keeps secret. Listen, this isn’t one of them; that’s what that verse is saying. This is not one of them. God tells a nation how to live.
Verse 1 of chapter 30: “So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the Lord your God has banished you.” In other words, take this message to every nation that you ever set foot in. Why? Because God has the same standard for all nations.
Israel is the witness nation to the world that God blesses obedience and curses disobedience. It is not a badge of honor that the United States of America is so relentlessly devoted to separating the church and the state. That is a destructive division. Israel was to be the witness to the world of what happens when you obey and what happens when you disobey, and they have played that role. Times of obedience, they were blessed. Times of disobedience, they were cursed.
Deuteronomy 30 is a very important chapter, by the way, because there’s a promise here you need to hear, verse 2: “And you return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and soul according to all that I command you today, you and your sons, then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity, and have compassion on you, and gather you again from all the peoples where the Lord your God has scattered you.” That’s the future. That’s going to happen in the future.
“The outcasts – ” verse 4 “ – are going to be gathered from the ends of the earth.” The Lord is going to bring them back to their land. That, of course, will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ at His return, and the establishment of the messianic kingdom.
This powerful message of blessing and cursing comes to a culmination down at the end of chapter 30, verse 15: “I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity; in that I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, that you may live and multiply, and that the Lord your God may bless you in the land where you are entering to possess it. But if your heart turns away and you will not obey, but are drawn away and worship other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall surely perish.
You will not prolong your days in the land where you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess it. I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, by loving the Lord your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him; for this is your life and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” “You obey Me, you’ll prosper, you’ll live in the land. You disobey Me, you’ll perish, perish.”This Shocked Me || John MacArthur on The Babylon BeeBTWN News2023-06-25 | Support BTWN on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/btwnnews

A couple of days ago, images of a gay PRIDE flag on the set of hit TV show The Chosen began to emerge on social media. The photos were from a Season 4 promo video, where the flag can be seen hanging from camera equipment and attached to the back of a man’s vest.
Where do they come from? They belong to crew member Daniel Fritz, a Steadicam operator and long-time show employee.
On Twitter, Turning Point USA contributor Jon Root asked The Chosen’s official handle if they could explain why there is a Pride flag on set, and the response is about what you’d expect from a show that’s making things up about Jesus’ life on the go, writing:
When pressed further by Root to elaborate whether they “believe it’s God-honoring to promote a symbol that represents sexual immorality, a worldly redefinition of marriage & the idea that we can change our biological sex?” The Chosen did not respond at the time of this publication.
“Just like with our hundreds of cast and crew who have different beliefs (or no belief at all) than we do, we will work with anyone on our show who helps us portray or honor the authentic Jesus. We ask that audiences let the show speak for itself and focus on the message, not the messenger, because we’ll always let you down.”Tim Keller || The Truth of Tim Keller || Where is Tim Keller Today?BTWN News2023-06-01 | Support BTWN on Ko-Fi: ko-fi.com/btwnnews
