Hindsight is 20/20
Judges 21:25
Without God man has no reference point to define himself. R. C. Sproul
Prov 21:2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD
pondereth the hearts.
On June 28, 2006 Then President Barrack Obama's said this in a speech,
“Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation - at least,
not just. We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, and a Buddhist
nation, and a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers."
1. There was a King, the people just refused to honor Him
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Mal 3:6a For I am the LORD, I change not;
Jn 1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with
God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not
any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life
was the light of men.
Rev 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith
the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come,
the Almighty.
2. Without a king, the people just did what they wanted.
How fast is a good speed to drive?
Judges 14: 1 And Samson went down to Timnath, and saw a woman
in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines. 2 And he came
up, and told his father and his mother, and said, I have seen a
woman in Timnath of the daughters of the Philistines: now
therefore get her for me to wife. 3 Then his father and his
mother said unto him, Is there never a woman among the
daughters of thy brethren, or among all my people, that thou
goest to take a wife of the uncircumcised Philistines? And
Samson said unto his father, Get her for me; for she pleaseth
me well. Samson didn’t have to worry about the Philistines,
Samson was his own worst enemy
3. Everyman became a king and determined right and wrong.
Prov 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the
end thereof are the ways of death.
Ps 14:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said
in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done
abominable works, there is none that doeth good. 2 The LORD
looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if
there were any that did understand, and seek God. 3 They are all
gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that
doeth good, no, not one. 4 Have all the workers of iniquity no
knowledge?
Matt 24:37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of
the Son of man be.
Playing “Make up” ya make up the rules as you go along.
He was just a little lad, and on the week’s first day,
Was wandering home from Sunday School, and dawdling on the way.
He scuffed his shoes into the grass; he found a caterpillar
He found a fluffy milkweed pod, and blew out all the filler.
A bird’s nest in a tree o’er head so wisely placed and high
Was just another wonder caught by his eager eye.
A neighbor watched his zig zag course, and hailed him from the lawn
Asked him where he’d been that day, and what was going on.
"Oh, I’ve been to Sunday School, (He carefully turned a sod,
And found a snail beneath it); I’ve learned a lot about God"
"M’m’m, a very fine way," the neighbor said, "for a boy to spend his time;
If you’ll tell where God is I’ll give you a brand new shiny dime."
Quick as a flash his answer came! Nor were his accents faint -
"I’ll give you a dollar mister, if you tell me where God ain’t."
