The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”
– Zephaniah 3:17
“He will rejoice over thee with joy, will not only be well pleased with thee, upon thy repentance and reformation, and take thee into favour, but will take a complacency in thee, as the bridegroom does in his bride, or the bride in her ornaments, Isa. 62:3-5 . The conversion of sinners and the consolation of saints are the joy of angels, for they are the joy of God him-self. The church should be the joy of the whole earth (Ps. 48:2 ), for it is the joy of the whole heaven. He will rest in his love, will be silent in his love, so the word is. “I will not rebuke thee as I have done, for thy sins; I will acquiesce in thee, and in my relation to thee.’’ I know not where there is the like expression of Christ’s love to his church, unless in that song of songs, Cant. 4:9 , Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse, with one of thy eyes. O the condescensions of divine grace! The great God not only loves his saints, but he loves to love them, is pleased that he has pitched upon these objects of his love. He will joy over them with singing. He that is grieved for the sin of sinners rejoices in the graces and services of the saints, and is ready to express that joy by singing over them. The Lord takes plea-sure in those that fear him, and in them Jesus Christ will shortly be glorified and admired.IV. God will comfort Zion’s mourners, who sympathize with her in her griefs, and will wipe away their tears.” – Matthew Henry Commentary of the Whole Bible

What Happens After We Die? Watch This Two Part Series

What really happens when we die? This is a very controversial topic, at least in the modern world, and even to Christians. The Larry King Live Show invited various spiritual leaders from many faiths including Evangelical Pastor John McArthur of Grace Community Church in Southern California, a Catholic priest, a rabbi, a muslim scholar, a spirituality teacher, and a prominent Atheistleader.
After watching these two part series, I admire the straightforward and strong answers of John MacArthur. Defending Christianity in a debate is huge task. But with a great understanding and mastery of Biblical principles, we do know how to approach it.
