It seems as though the Lord has defeated us in our modern age. But has He really done so? Today I am going to show you in this very short episode, through Samuel that the Lord’s defeating us simply His allowing us to defeat ourselves. Let’s get started. “And when the people came to the camp, the elders of Israel said, “Why has the Lord defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord here from Shiloh, that it may come among us and save us from the power of our enemies.” (1 Samual 4:3). Please LIKE-SHARE and SUBSCRIBE

In our last episode I shared with you the ancient Jewish Saying that: “If you want to hide a tree, plant it in a forest”. The point is that as Christians, we can choose run and hide in apathy, or we can live our our Christian faith in ACTION. Today, in PART2, I want to look to God’s Word as to the fact that God allows both good times and bad. When bad times come, we tend to go into hiding, failing to executive the Great Commission. And in the process, we risk becoming SELF-RIGHTEOUS in our Christian faith. Solomon makes clear that to do so is to “perish in our righteousness”. Remember, we can run, but we cannot hide. And, “If you want to hide a tree, plant it in the forest”. 1) SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PODCAST & HIT THE ALERT BELL! 2) SHARE OUR PODCAST WITH YOU FRIENDS! 3) JOIN Steve's Community at: www.STEVENGAROFALO.COM
