Divide and be Conquered: Charles I and the Politics of Compromise (Ex 10:8-11) Review 1. The church was not actually united, nor or united in mind, nor sitting on a stable foundation. 2. There were many different voices claiming divine right and authority and government. 3. Extra-Biblical traditions, practices, and worship were being conducted and in many cases imposed upon the consciences of God's people. 4. The people and many ministers were in ignorance. 5. The state was not in submission to Christ and was controlling and restraining the church.
Introduction The "Engagement" of military assistance for the establishment of the Covenant for three years. What should be done?
Exposition 1. You may go, in this land. 2. You may go, but not very far away. 3. You may go, but only the men. 4. You may all go, but not the flocks and herds.
Application: Who decides how much God will be obeyed by His people? This is why as a matter of principle, Moses tells Pharaoh, "Not a hoof shall be left behind" (10:26)-but why Paul tells the church at Rome, "Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things."
When men with no authority are negotiating for the right to determine how God should be worshipped and served and obeyed, there can be, and there must be no compromise.
Conclusion King Charles was executed on the scaffold by the English Parliament in 1649. And the Engagement only hastened his death.
