The Altitude Of Your Attitude Series

Contributed by Rick Duncan on Aug 31, 2005

When God examines your attitude, is He pleased? Are you sinning against God – not by what you do – but by your bad attitude?

Gideon: To God Be The Glory Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 16, 2022

God used Gideon not because he was strong or a military genius, but because Gideon was weak. There was to be no doubt that the glory for the victory and deliverance of Israel goes to God. There is a hero in the Gideon story and the hero is the Lord God Almighty.

Gideon’s name is synonymous with victory against the odds. Gideon led an army of 300 elite fighting men and whipped up on an army of 135,000. When they were through the enemy had over 120,000 casualties with the remaining 15,000 running for their life. But when we really look at Judges 6-8 Gideon ...read more
