True Wisdom

How can two prophets, who prophesy using the words that God gave them, end up with two vastly different results? Jeremiah, when faced with adversity and threats of death, handled the situation with confidence and Urijah handled his situation with fear. But what about Eljah? When he was threatened by Queen Jezebel he ran in a fear?

Andrew and Robert discuss the differences and explain how we should handle stressful, dangerous times.

Could you imagine what life would be like without sin? Could you imagine what marriage would be like without sin??

These days we fight over so many issues between the sexes but what was God's original plan? What was God's description of what life would be like between Adam and Eve after sin.

Robert and Andrew study from Genesis 3 to tackles these and other questions.

When you look at the story of Joseph and Potiphar's wife in Genesis 39 and then  you look at the title of this episode, Squandered Blessings, you might immediately ask, "Joseph didn't sin; how did he squander his blessing??".

Andrew and Robert take a look at this story from a different view point. Even though Joseph ended up spending 3 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit he ended up well in the end. Who then ultimately lost their blessing? Listen along to find out.

Sometime a person can allow others to lead them from God... Other times people decide to partner up to go in the complete opposite direction to God. Ahab was one of those who chose to align with someone who would do nothing to strengthen a relationship with God. In 1st Kings 16:31-33 it it indicates that Ahab did worse than those that went before him.

Andrew and Robert discuss a few kings that didn't follow God's leading, how Ahab made worse choses than the other kings and how God gave him more time to change his ways.

Making decision has been difficult for humans for centuries. However, when God gives us directions it *should* makes thing easier. Right?

Because of the Bible providing historical accounts of people lives we have the benefit of seeing the high cost when people have not listened to God. Look at all that Lot lost because he and Abram did not follow the directions originally given to Abram? What will our disobedience cost our family and our friends?

What makes someone, who wants freedom from God so that they can do whatever they please, choose to be ruled by another person? 

Andrew and Robert read from 1 Samuel 8 and discuss the story of Israel's desire to be ruled by a King even when it was explained to them how badly it would turn out. And, as always, God was right. Are there parallels in the world today?

When we make decisions in life we don't often know how they will turn out what what effects it will have on us or our families later. This applies doubly then we decide to break God's laws, never fully understanding the impact. Would Adam really have eaten the fruit if he knew how many millions of people would suffer? Would Abraham have taken Haggar if he knew of the repercussions that would follow that decision thousands of years later?

If this episode Robert and Andrew discuss the decisions of the Israelites and how that affected their household for generations.
