Christ Over All
In the church, many suggest Christians stay in their lane, a sacred lane that must be kept separate from the secular realm. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, elite evangelicals often assist in cementing the supremacy of secular elites. But what does God think of our rebellion? He laughs at our foolishness and calls us to wisdom. Wise kings honor Christ as King and serve him with joy.
Does 2 Peter 3:10 mean that the earth we walk upon today, the world which God created in six days, will experience annihilation? Will the new earth be a new planet altogether?
The subject of mortifying sin ought to resonate with the push for biblical masculinity; the call to mortify sin brings about a spirit and a sense of adventure, battle, conflict, and conquest. We are teaching ourselves, our men, and our boys to be a warrior who is tender to his allies and tough on his enemies.
Psalm 82 is reminiscent of Isaiah 6 and Job 1, as the veil between heaven and earth temporarily rolls back, allowing the onlooker insight into the congregation who gathers before Yahweh.
