Fantastic to discover here my friend Sam Allberry also disagrees with Piper and agrees with MLJ over the Romans 7 Man http://t.co/N7QLSWX #

Worship at Bible By The Beach "praise to the Lord… Fitting the well for the tasks that are ever before me" #

All of the sermons in the book of Acts focus on the resurrection of Jesus Christ "Raised with Christ" via @BKSTOKES #
Osama Bin Laden is dead, it is ok to rejoice: "when the wicked perish there are shouts of gladness" (Proverbs 11:10). #
Now @martinsaunders quotes Proverbs 24:17 'Do not gloat when your enemy falls' There are times to apply 24:17 now is surely a 11:10 moment. #
To qualify, our joy should be tempered by sorrow at the desperate mess and waste Osama Bin Laden made of his life made in the image of God. #
Wisdom is all about knowing when to apply different biblical principles eg when to excommunicate or to welcome the sinner back @supersimbo in reply to supersimbo #
Few of the proverbs are absolute and apply to every situation. Their apparent contradictions point us to wisdom @alanhitt @martinsaunders #

The Christian should have mixed emotions at Bin Ladens death. Joy at justice and evil arrested. Sorrow at the waste of Gods image @Lidlings in reply to Lidlings #
"…he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer." Rom 13:10 #
Romans 12:9 does apply also. So we rejoice but not thu vengeance and tempered with regret at any life lost @lauramoose23 in reply to lauramoose23 #
RT @jamesellin: @adrianwarnock Rom 13:10? or Rom 13:4? Ironic? /// No, BOTH #
On a different note, Paul speaks of being sorrowful yet always rejoicing. All I am saying is we can rejoice while also grieving re Bin Laden #
Christian wisdom is all about living in that paradox @Blakob88 in reply to Blakob88 #
"so basically walking under the tensions the Bible creates is better than choosing a side and ignoring the other…" @Blakob88 //exactly! #
Christian are you full of hope? If you are has it reached hour face. Bishop Wallace Benn closing Bible by the Beach. #
