Josiah The Boy King

Contributed by Don Campbell on Jul 2, 2023

Paul commended the genuine faith of Timothy, saying that it had first dwelt his mother and grandmother. Josiah's father and grandfather were the worst of the worst, causing Israel to become more idolatrous than the surrounding nations. Josiah broke the pattern.

Counting The Cost Of A King Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Sep 24, 2022

Israel demanded a king and rejected God as their king. God made a new covenant with King David. In David’s offspring a king would rule forever. Israel rejected God but they did not thwart his sovereign purposes for man. In Jesus Christ both the Sinai covenant and David’s covenant are fulfilled.

It is tragic when we give something more priority than we give God. Sporting events can develop character and teach young people positive lessons but if that sport ever came between that person and God, it is wrong. Even humanitarian projects which are serving human need in a ministry, if they ...read more
