Hi Allie! My pastor, John MacArthur, preached livestream this past Lord’s day. Here are my notes:
Why God allows trouble/trials:
-To test our faith
-To humble us
-To wean us from worldliness
-To give us heavenly hope
-To reveal what we really love
-To enable us to comfort others
-For His glory

[Yesica]

Thank you for all the Scriptures! (Honestly, how do people survive without God's Word?!)

[the_sojournersoul]

Thank you for this Allie. I personally have felt attacked by Satan, and this really brought so much comfort.

[stageluvr]

I believe God is bringing us back to Him through this situation. We are being forced to turn away from things of world toward God and our families.

[sarahnichols]

Thank you Allie! My heart has been gripped with fear this past few days😔 I needed this video! I am going to post the verses all over my home🙂

[cataisla]

Thank you for sharing these verses. What an encouragement :)

[stageluvr]

Thank you for being a voice of hope during this time, Allie.

[shaunalea]

I call it a reverence, respect, there is such a thing as healthy fear, HE is GOD the ALMIGHTY and can do whatever his will, i know its easy to get carried away w fear, but i do believe we will be ok, we have to be wise, but cant panic.

[barbdenise]

So excited and happy that Theology Monday is back!

[katherineelizabeth]

I've missed theology mondays! I especially look forward these episodes!

[vefisher]

Allie your a bright light of hope in these troubling historic times.

[Yesica]

I've kinda liked seeing everyone's homes.
I appreciate & need Theology Monday (or any day) all the time, crisis or not!
I've been unemployed/under-employed / working barely part time from home, for over a decade. I've been trapped at home for 4 years dealing with an ongoing (not virus related) family health crisis. And on top of it, the nonstop verbal abuse from the very family members I am caring for. I see all these people freaking out because they can't go here & there and they're "bored" and I wonder, what do they think life has been like for people like me for all this time?!

[renae]

Thank you Allie for all that good Word!

[lariavermaak]

Allie, thank you. Country lockdown just announced in South Africa and really needed to hear your message. Stay safe, may God bless you and your family. Much love x

[somethinggood]

That is a long list of references! Thank you very much for taking the time to make this for us. I was doing ok but today i am feeling a bit of after checking the news after work....i am very much concerned that they are cracking down on people being outside, closing gun stores, and basically controlling when people can be outside. I know i didnt put everything in eloquent terms but yeah...

[jonp.]

If this doesnt end soon, there won't be anything to come back to.

[billhansen]

last night I stumbled upon an excellent sermon by John MacArthur. It is titled Why is there so much suffering and sin? Dated May 2015. I also saw a short interview he gave regarding the corona virus, but I couldn't find it just now.

I love Theology Mondays- please don’t ever stop them! Would you mind sharing some resources you’ve really enjoyed to help you in your Bible knowledge? I know my Bible, but more in a self-helpy/ topical kind of way, and I want to go deeper. I’m a newer subscriber, so I apologize if you already spoke about this. If you did, the link to your video would be so appreciated!

[somethinggood]

P.s. wouldyou ever do a video about reading in context? I think i understand it but then i get confused with books in the new testament....like with covering your head or teaching in church as awoman. I dont understand how people know what to take and what to to make sure i am applying Gods word correctly.
Thank you again and God bless you!

My company will be laying off people after we already went through restructuring last year...
