    Idolatry is anything we run to besides the Lord for comfort. Whatever we spend all our time, money and energy on will show us if there are idols in our lives.

    The title of my message today is Where Your Treasure Is. We are going to talk about idolatry today. I was doing housework one day this week and the Lord told me something about idolatry.

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Thirty-One. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Jacob decides to return to his home country with his wives and children, but Laban peruses him. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 31 Jacob, having communicated his design to his wives, departs secretly from Laban ...read more
