In fact, he cried before he raised Lazarus. Of course, most of us focus on the fact that Jesus would raise Lazarus from he dead. It is traditionally believed that this family hda a close friendship with Jesus. Jesus goes to visit Mary and Martha whose brother, Lazarus, has just died.

Please read the following story from the book of John before I begin.
Today I will be discussing Kevin DeYoung's blog post The God of Justice Hates False Reportswhich was posted yesterday at The Gospel™ Coalition's website. I wonder if these BFF's of Sovereign Grace Ministries have ever had an abused person sit up front with them? I told her that the lack of empathy from DeYoung and others in The Gospel™ Coalition has been deeply disturbing. Before we finished, she mentioned she had seen Kevin DeYoung's newest blog post and expressed concern about his lack of empathy for those who have been hurt. We have developed a friendship through the last couple of years. She called me about another issue altogether. I just got off the phone talking to a dear friend whose child was sexually abused in an SGM church. “From the least to the greatest, all are greedy for gain prophets and priests alike, all practice deceit.They dress the wound of my people as though it were not serious. ‘Peace, peace,’ they say,when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all they do not even know how to blush.(Jeremiah 6:13-15-NIV-Bible Gateway)Īl Mohler, John MacArthur, Thabiti Anyabwile, John Piper, CJ Mahaney, and Kevin DeYoung at T4G (the one CJ was not supposed to speak at.)
