In continuation of the previous Episode(Episode 43), your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) endeavor to Scripturally harmonize the clearly stated, universal will of God for all to be saved and enjoy long life, while poignantly recognizing the reality of hostile human wills, with respect to persecution, specifically martyrdom. As one can readily see, for many Believers worldwide to experience long life without persecution, the first objective is the Salvation of the persecutor themselves. Church history testifies that oftentimes the initial entrance of the Kingdom of God into a new territory can involve the risk of martyrdom, and many other forms of severe persecution, etc. Another fascinating aspect is presented of how nations(such as the United States of America) whose government and laws have been favorable to Biblical principles have thereby facilitated living conditions that God’s Word says He desires for His people. You will be assured to know that God’s heart is not expressed in human cruelty, nor untimely, premature, and tragic death in this fallen world, rather in the Salvation and preservation of individuals, as they flourish in all aspects of life. In this Fifth Part of the current G.G.S.(Gospel Guideposts Series), the continued theme of "New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?" is sure to shine light into areas that were previously overlooked by individuals of all walks of life. "The Shield & Sword Podcast" is a Ministry of the FULL GOSPEL FAITH MINISTRIES.

In this Episode(Episode 43) of "The Shield & Sword Podcast", your Hosts(Pastor Matney and Bro. Derek Rich) begin exploring the ways in which death is approached by the Church. Insights are made concerning the global Church’s earthly experience in places characterized by hardship and hostility beyond what America has experienced(due to America being founded upon Biblical Principles that exalt life, and liberty, etc.), and how that could affect one’s understanding and approach toward death. The two existing realities of God‘s desire for long life and human hostility through persecution are examined Biblically. The origin of death is briefly touched upon and contrasted with God’s life-giving nature. This Fourth Part("New Covenant Truth or Calvinistic Theology: What's Shaping Your Beliefs?") of the current G.G.S.(Gospel Guideposts Series) is sure to enlighten and encourage all those who listen!
