Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Sep 18, 2020

Sometimes we need to take a fresh look at long held or cherished traditions and teachings.

He lived during the days of Ahab and Jehoshaphat but caused a great deal of grief for many people in both Israel and Judah. His “visual aids” didn’t help, either!
