    Setting Up Idols In Bethel

    Contributed by Samuel M on Jul 10, 2023
     | 1,950 views

    First, Jeroboam built two idols and placed them in Bethel and Dan. Bethel means House of God and Dan means He judged. In the House of God, Jeroboam erected an idol—the golden calf. Jeroboam setup up a new altar to offer sacrifices before the golden calf.

    Then he made two golden calves, and he said to the people, “Going to Jerusalem is too difficult for you. Israel, here is your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt.” He set up one in Bethel, and put the other in Dan. 1 Kings 12:28,29 First, Jeroboam built two idols and placed them in Bethel ...read more

     | 376 views

    Jeroboam had the opportunity to establish a great dynasty, but he chose fear over faith, idolatry over righteousness, and political survival over spiritual truth. His life is a cautionary tale of how leadership can be misused when one does not trust in God.

    The True God Is Loving, Compassionate--And Jealous

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 6, 2024
     | 726 views

    What it means when we say God is a “jealous” God. He won’t let us change religion to suit our own passions and political desires. He loves us too much to permit that.

    Saturday of the Fifth Week in Course 2024 Today we hear about the apostasy of the first king of the North of Israel, Jeroboam. Apostasy is the turning aside from true religion to the worship of a different god. The true God, as we know it from Christian revelation, is immaterial, eternal, ...read more

It was an inspiring ,encouraging and motivating message. But God was sad. Then God opened young person’s eyes, and he saw idols in their ...read more

    Solomon’s foolishness is repeated by his son who refuses to listen to the wise counsel of his advisers and instead turns to his younger peers who agree with him.
