The patience of Job is something of legend. The stage is set in Job 1, where Satan approaches God to talk about the people down on Earth and God directs his attention to Job.
Satan is quick to tell God that the reason that Job worships him is because God has richly blessed him:
So God decides that to show Satan just how great his servant is, he will let Satan take away all of his possessions.
The old saying goes that the church is only 10 years behind the world morally/culturally. That was part of last night’s message looking into “respectable sins”—those sins that Christians commit that are ranked as “not bad” because “everyone does them.”
This is a charge that I’ve heard before, and I have to say that I agree with it. If you look back through the church’s history you’ll find that the church has changed in its behavior and its standards over many years.
