Acts 14:19-23 19 But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead. 20 But when the disciples gathered about him, he rose up and entered the city, and on the next day he went on with Barnabas to Derbe. 21 When they had preached the gospel to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra and to Iconium and to Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to continue in the faith, and saying that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God. 23 And when they had appointed elders for them in every church, with prayer and fasting they committed them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

With great concern for the church of God, Paul speaks of three blessings that preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ accomplishes in the saints of God. First it will be a comfort to God's people. Second it will knit the hearts of the people together in love. Third it will teach them all the rich blessings of God in Christ. And it is in this way: through the preaching of the gospel of Christ that Ministers of the gospel combat: the adversary (and his devices), the deceiver (and his false doctrines) and the vain professors (who sow discord and strife). Pray and preach the gospel and all these things will be overcome by the Lord in his people.

Conflict can be the perfect incubator for self-righteousness. If you are in a fight—with a neighbor, fellow church member, friend, spouse—it is easy to let their faults cancel yours. A sense of victimhood, true or false, tempts us to write-off our own responsibilities. In Jesus' words we "see the speck that is in [our] brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in [our] own eye?" (Matt. 7:3). This is not to deny the reality of oppression. In a fallen world there are real victims and actual oppressors. There are times when you truly are the injured party. But even then you may not stop testing your own heart. In this last of the penitential psalms David is an actual victim. He has a just cause to appeal to God to deliver him from his enemies and destroy his adversaries (9, 12). And in his trouble he shows us how to resist making a self-righteous plea for justice. In fact he starts with his own unrighteousness. So Psalm 143 is a much-needed guide for how believing sinners should cry for God's help.
