    The Israelites decided that they needed an earthly king and when they got what they asked for it wasn’t so good. It still happens today.

    With a nod to John Knox, this is about tyranny; what it is, why it is, how we escape it (including the tyranny of sin).

    Webster’s dictionary defines “tyranny” as arbitrary or unrestrained exercise of power. We don’t use the word “tyranny” a lot in our own day. We don’t routinely hear people in positions over us referred to as tyrants. (They may in fact be tyrants, but we don’t use the word.) But the word “tyranny” ...read more

    The push is on for Christians to be less separated and more like everyone else. That’s a generic Christianity. God wants a separated people who let Him be their leader.
