The Church Confronts the World
While under house arrest, Paul was repeatedly summoned by the Roman governor Felix and his wife Drusilla. During these visits, he didn’t fearfully defend himself or attempt to endear himself to his captors. Instead, compelled by the fear of God and the love of Christ, Paul used these opportunities to preach about righteousness, self-control, and judgment. Alistair Begg uses Paul’s example to challenge today’s church to confront the world with passionate, authoritative conviction regarding the Bible’s truth and the coming judgment.
