Let Us Alone That We May Serve The Egyptians

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 15, 2021

Have you noticed that many things in life do not seem to change? For example, in our text, God delivered the Children of Israel from Egypt. But once they were delivered from Pharaoh, he changed his mind and decided to pursue after them and to bring them back.

When the Israelites saw them in pursuit, the Bible says, “…They were sore afraid…” In that fear they turned to Moses and said something that was very disturbing. We read, “…And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore ...read more

Whom Do We Serve (1 Samuel 12)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Apr 8, 2025

Whom do we serve, politics, a king, or God? Let's begin in 1 Samuel 12.
