You know it was a wild weekend in America when Al Mohler puts an episode out in July

The symbolism is striking. A 20 year old youth, ignorant, misguided, possessed by evil, disconnected from real relationships. A 50 year old father, protector, deeply intertwined with people in his life, giving himself up. May Corey’s example of loving the Lord and his neighbor with his life be a seed that will produce fruit a million-fold. It’s a message for men, there are two paths before you, choose today!

Thank you once again Dr. Mohler for explaining world events through a Biblical lens. We live in dark, evil times but we are ruled by a Sovereign, Almighty God. What a precious gift of security in Christ. God's blessings!

Thank you Dr Mohler, I always enjoy your insightful commentary!

Thank you for giving insight during your vacation. I lost a son to him being shot. Life is so fleeting and the events in Saturday prove that so clearly. May our LORD, Jesus Christ bless you and your family and our nation.

Good Morning Dr. Mohler! I am forever grateful for your voice in current events, your leadership and your stand for life! May our Heavenly Father continue to use your gifts for the proclamation of His Truth! Shalom ✌🏼

Thank you for this special edition.

I've been missing The Briefing! Thank you for posting a special edition. I appreciate your ministry!

Thank you for this special edition. Your clarity on the Biblical Worldview will help me and others to think through what is happening in this election cycle. Not much of it is good, but God is Sovereign over all.

Praise the Lord Sir! Greetings from India!😊

Excellent! Amen!

Thank you Doctor Mohler

Had to check to see if this video existed

Interesting to see how the intervention of God in saving trumps life if front and center yet we can’t help but to acknowledge that God chose not to intervene in the saving of the life of the husband their protecting his family. Hard for us humans to fully comprehend the reality of God’s sovereignty.

Absolutely! It makes no sense! HOW? did the shooter get away with this? Hmmmmm . . . Revelation 17:17 “ For God has put a plan into their minds, A PLAN THAT WILL CARRY OUT HIS PURPOSES” ALL 24:42 events now and in context of Revelation 17 equals God’s sovereignty over the World. Includes the evil & wicked. As you said Dr. Mohler, a lot of grief here . . . Thank you

The advantage of being a Calvinist is I can say "nothing happens 'by itself.'"

Thank you Albert for another excellent program.

The minute you lose virtue from public life, society is weakened.

All I can say is ❤ I appreciate you 🙏 your sacrifices have always been something that means so much to someone who just wants to serve Holy Father .Thank you my faithful brother always proverbs 3:3-6 praying for your strength and your peace your brother in Christ Matthew 21:6 Roman 1 We all better listen to what our Father's saying His Mercies should never be taken as weakness.Amen Proverbs 16:3 Lord please hear our hearts please continue to have Mercies on all Americans change our wickedness we are that generation who sees only through evil wicked eyes of our unrepented hearts .❤

Divine sovereignty vs human responsibility God is sovereign over His creation directly.

Very disturbing that the next day DJT was fortifying his position against the abolition of abortion. Reminds me of the parable of the forgiven debtor.

Wonderful comments by Dr. Mohler on divine providence. I think we need to examine if political opposition to abortion is about following Christ or maintaining a beachhead established in the Republican Party. I recommend Jon Harris's most recent take- kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mLObfqWXv8isenU.html

So Corey is dead because of God’s providence? Or because God wasn’t provident enough?

Given the idea that some say God has ceased doing many things, how can a cessationist make a reasonable argument that God is directly involved in anything? He doesn’t speak anymore. He doesn’t heal anymore. He doesn’t do a whole lot anymore. It really seems too close to deism to me. I’m not saying that I am not advocating for full on charismatic ideas. But to be completely cessationist is too far. God can do what He wants.

Dr. Mohler, I appreciate your view on the abortion issue but shouldn't the President respect the Supreme Court's decision to reverse Roe v. Wade, which is (to my understanding) what Christians had been fighting for, for decades? That Decision, which is you did not discuss, left the issue up to the states where it belongs and gives Christian citizens the moral and political responsibility to be active at a local level.

This 100% ill never understand those who are evangelical deists and evangelical Gnostics.

“And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭13‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

if you didnt know it was staged then i cant help you

I think you're Calvinist in your theology. Not sure. But your comments here confirm that I am correct, at least on some level. You seem to be affirming that God's sovereignty is executed in such a way that no detail in human existence occurs apart from his will. Not quoting you, but you imply that Trump wasn't killed because God willed it. He survived, then, due to divine intervention on his behalf. God willed that he turned his head when, and in such a way, that he was merely grazed by the bullet. That was a good thing, you said. But there was a man who did die, maybe the bullet that missed Trump. I don't know. Regardless, a bullet from the young man's rifle hit him in the head. That was a not a good thing, you said. But God rules sovereignly down to the last detail, correct? God was then responsible for both occurances - one good and one bad. How, then does this comport with the Christian belief in a good and loving God? Can God be responsible for evil and still be good? This is why I'm not a Calvinist. I can't begin to comprehend God. But the Scriptures teach that he is good and loves humanity. My consolation and hope are not grounded in a deterministic God, but in one who promises to never leave me or forsake me, especially when my life in in crisis. I don't know why Trump survived and Corey Comperatore did not. I don't know why Trump's family is rejoicing now and Corey Comperatore's is in deep grief. But I do know that God is present to comfort them and see them through, because God is love.
