The Way Down

In one of the saddest chapters of the Bible, Israel first neglects, then abandons their relationship with Yahweh. Through it all, though He remains faithful to them and stands ready to help when they cry out, just like with us.

I was 16 years old. It was my first "real" job after working as a newspaper delivery person for many years. I worked for a dry cleaner establishment that (I found out later) was about to go under. My job was to deliver cleaned drapes to customers. I was given the keys to an old van and told to take ...read more

She was one of Israel’s judges. She is a prominent woman of the OT, what can we learn from this story? We learn to trust God regardless of gender.

Deborah: The woman who would lead. There is an old saying in the workforce. If the ironworkers won’t do the job, the carpenters will. It would suggest that if the ironworkers won’t build the structure, the carpenters will. However, that also suggests that the structure might not be exactly what ...read more

When things go wrong, we are right to look for a reason. Certainly in the case of Israel at the beginning of the book of Judges, the problems were obvious. Are these true of us?

God Uses Imperfect People

Contributed by James Buchanan on Jun 19, 2004

based on 16 ratings

| 19,806 views

From the book of Judges, we see the story of Ehud and how God uses imperfect people (like you and I) to accomplish his purposes.

Now, this is not a true story—mind you, but an apocryphal writing in which the pope in medieval times was persuaded by some of his more conservative advisors to endure no longer the presence of Jews in the very heart and core of world Christianity. The Jews of Rome were evicted from their homes by ...read more

God’s command to Israel to drive out every idol and every idolater from Canaan has a definite meaning to every Christian. Drive out every sin.

DRIVE OUT SIN OR IT WILL DRIVE YOU!

They were quick to forget the great miracles of deliverance that God ...read more
