Conflicts of Conscience (The Church in Babylon)

July 26, 2015

In America, Christians are rapidly becoming like Daniel and his friends in Babylon: out of sync with their pagan environment.  How do we reconcile what we believe with what we have to do to live in our culture?

Should believers living in a country that’s suffering under God’s judgment simply recede from public life?  Or should they engage their culture with enthusiasm?  The surprising answer to this dilemma comes from God’s instructions to the captive nation of Judah living in Babylon.

When the judgment of God comes upon us, things we hold dear can be laid to waste. The city of Jerusalem was sacked and looted by invading armies—and this was in line with the plan and will of God.

When the cup of iniquity is full, God will pour out His wrath. Armies invaded and looted Jerusalem, taking the people into captivity. The United States may soon feel that same wrath if we don’t learn the lessons from a nation long ago.

Many people think they are masters of their own destiny.  But God sees His people as clay on a potter’s wheel, and since He’s the potter, He is in control of their destiny.  Let’s learn to see ourselves as vessels God can make and remake as He chooses.

In ancient Israel, false prophets put lies about God into the minds of the people. The same is true in our day. They diminish His holiness, and exaggerate their own goodness to hide their real motives.

God had Babylon take Israel captive after the people turned to idolatry. God won’t tolerate endless disobedience from His people—He didn’t then, and He won’t today.
June 14, 2015
After a long period of nation-wide disobedience, God judged Israel by allowing Babylon to cart them off into captivity. They became a minority in a pagan land just as Christians are fast becoming a minority in America today.

All of us desire to be great. Some of us even desire to do great things for God, but is unholy ambition lurking beneath the surface? Are our motives pure? In this message, Pastor Lutzer shows us the difference between selfishness and greatness.

One book in the Bible guarantees a blessing to all who read it: the Book of Revelation. Rich in symbolism, it portrays the future yet to be: the glorious return of Jesus, the resurrection of the dead, judgment, the Millennial reign, and finally, the eternity which follows.

The Old Testament is filled with prophecy, history, law, and wisdom. In this message, we’ll focus on the time when Israel was taken into captivity and its temple destroyed.

About Pastor Philip Miller

Philip Miller is the 17th Senior Pastor of The Moody Church. Philip holds a B.A in Pre-Seminary Bible from Cedarville University (’04) and a Th.M. in Pastoral Leadership and New Testament Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary (’10). His wife, Krista, also holds an Th.M. degree from DTS. They have four children: Claire, Violet, Cora, and Jude.

Philip is a visionary leader with over twelve years of ministry experience, including three at Christ Community Church in the western Chicago suburbs and nearly seven as Senior Pastor at Westwood Baptist in Olympia, WA. He believes people flourish as followers of Jesus when they live deeply in the gospel, experience the healing of true community, and join Jesus on mission in their world. He is committed to cultivating a gospel-centered church that welcomes spiritual explorers, promotes gospel clarity in culturally engaging ways, inspires passionate worship, fosters deep spiritual vitality, empowers people to holistic discipleship, and catalyzes a multiplication movement of gospel renewal both locally and globally.

Philip enjoys cycling and all things outdoors, Garrett’s Carmel popcorn, Lou Malnati‘s deep dish pizza, and Henry Weinhard‘s root beer. For more information about Philip and his family, visit moodymedia.org/pastorphilip.
