April 6

3 Axioms to live by in 1 Samuel 4-6...

1.) Religious icons have no power unto themselves and are no substitute for a heart obedient to God and His sovereignty. (4:1-10)

2.) When we are decrepit, indulgent, permissive in our parenting, and characterized by being lackadaisical in our leadership, God's grace acts in judgment, rescuing the innocent from our continued harm. (4:12-18)

3.) God does not judge us because we break a rule on a list but because we resist His rule in our hearts. (6:19-21)

Pastor Fred
