Times have become turbulent it appears once again in our nation. With a recent school shooting in Minneapolis, some politicians and pundits once again hurled anger at those who pray for people in deep distress after tragedy in our country. This is an unhealthy and unhelpful response from leaders, who really should consider that this nation has been driven to prayer in times of national emergency throughout its history from the Pilgrims, the Colonies, times of war throughout our history, to present. On this episode of 2Days Denarius, Ron Thomas gives some response to those who dismiss God and those who call out to Him in times of distress. He also provides a prayer for the nation, along with encouraging words from a well-known politician with a much more positive and correct approach as to why people reach out to an Almighty God in disaster and/or distress. It concludes with a small presentation of a couple of verses from Martin Luther's famous hymn, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God."

Jonathan Edwards, in the eyes of many in the Christian faith, remains the greatest theologian America ever produced. Unfortunately, many tie Edwards to a particular sermon he preached in Enfield, CT, in 1741 and to this day label him as a "hellfire and brimstone preacher" only. This is vastly untrue. This episode of 2Days Denarius takes a look at the conversion of Jonathan Edwards in his own words, along with a few quotes to help demonstrate Edwards's ability to preach on or address the full counsel of God in thorough fashion. This episode is gospel oriented and encourages Christians to focus highly on our Lord and Savior daily in their walk of faith.

Quote regarding the conversion of Jonathan Edwards comes from the excellent book:

"The Essential Jonathan Edwards" by Owen Strachan, Douglas Allen Sweeney & John Piper. Moody Publishers: 2010.

In our lives as Christians, we often overlook God's purpose for trials, testing, difficulties, among other challenges He may bring our way. One of the greatest challenges in all of Scripture is found in Genesis 22 when Abraham was tested by God to give His son, Isaac, in sacrifice. It's clear Abraham never lost his trust even in the midst of pain of potential loss. And after God's provision of a ram for the sacrifice, Abraham looked back and labeled what took place as victory of God's deliverance. This Monday Starter devotional comes from a sermon by a famous minister in his time, Alexander MacLaren. MacLaren noted some worthwhile actions and reflections we can take in our own lives to help us view our own trials, temptations, etc. in a different and more positive way. Listeners will be greatly encouraged by what this episode offers!

The material from this episode comes from an excellent devotional for daily reading noted below. It is highly recommended for listeners to purchase one and put on their reading list!
