Part 2 Do You Excuse Disobedience?

Byadmin

In Part 1, Saul was anointed and appointed by God the King of Israel.  His humility soon turned to pride and excuses for not obeying God’s commands. The proof of a good King was his obedience to God’s command and rejection of idol worship.  The same proof applies to us today.  Obedience to God is the key to our relationship and approval from God.  Overcoming excuses and pride takes work on our part but becomes easier the more we dwell in the Word, obey it, and grieve over sin. 

Why Study the Bible?

I’ve started reading Living by the Book by Howard and William Hendricks (available on Amazon).  “The adventure of your life awaits!”  Although I’ve read through the Bible nearly 100 times from cover to cover, I still crave the Word.  This book is helping me develop better ways to observe, read, hear, interpret, and apply the Word to my everyday life.  Professor Hendricks presents three benefits of Bible Study — growth, obedience (maturity), and effectiveness.  And it’s available for anyone! No special skills required.  Dr. Hendricks says, “If you can read, you can glean important insight from Scripture.”
