This Proverb forces us to consider the fruit of our words on a level that we don't often consider. Our words are influenced by our inward spiritual condition but there is a sense in which they EFFECT our inward spiritual condition. https://bbfohio.com

In our study, Paul and Barnabas plant a church in Iconium and repeat the cycle of going to the Jews first, finding a remnant of believers among the Jews and Gentiles, and then being assaulted/persecuted by the unbelieving Jews and Gentiles.

The history of the nation of Israel foretold by the Prophets stands as an amazing Evidence for God. But by drilling down into the details, this evidence finds it's greatest strength and irrefutability such as the predictions of Hosea about the King in Israel.

CURRENT EVENTS UPDATE: (1) Israel at War 2/14/24 PM Netanyahu rejects Hamas' attempt to dictate hostage negotiations as the battle with Hezzbullah heats up.

(Alex Jones, Michael Cernovich, Joe Rogan). In our study, we pick up with our discussion left over from the previous study of "The Living Dead," and then see Micah's declaration that his message of of God and by His Spirit and then he lays down the Accusation and Consequences. We will discuss the parallels to our own day and the false teachers who assure themselves that God is among them and that no evil can come upon us. Also Reference: Romans 1:18-28, Titus 1:11 https://bbfohio.com

We discuss Ash Wednesday. Why we do not participate and why we do not shun, ban or separate from believers who do participate. Once again, the Bible believer sees the devil in the extremes and our response is centered upon Biblical truth. Also Reference: Matthew 6:5, Matthew 23:3-5, Leviticus 19:28, Ezekiel 9:4, Revelation 7:3, Revelation 9:4, Revelation 13:16, Romans 14:5 https://bbfohio.com

It is both a statement of fact about and an indictment against the brother offended who is "harder to be won than a strong city". Scripture warns us of being that brother offended and committing the sin of unforgiveness. Also Reference: Matthew 6:12, Matthew 6:14-15 https://bbfohio.com

Two main topics in this chapter: As Moses continues laying down the Law (literally!) before he departs this world and Israel then departs and marches into the Promised Land... this chapter will emphasize the REASON God orders the complete and utter destruction of the Canaanites in the land AND then makes it clear that He has chosen a particular place (which we now know as the Jerusalem Temple Mount) for all sacrifices to be offered once Israel is in the Land. Also Reference: Romans 15:10, Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:11, Leviticus 17:14 https://bbfohio.com

The survival and restoration of Israel is miraculous. And the fact that it was all predicted by God through His prophets thousands of years beforehand is itself Evidence For God. https://bbfohio.com

As we consider our Proverb's admonition to "search" beyond the first side of any story... we remember Paul Harvey's "The Rest of the Story," and lessons learned as well as our motive to please God by being wise and heeding His wisdom. https://bbfohio.com

CURRENT EVENTS UPDATE: (1) Israel at War 2/7/24 With reports that 32 of the 136 hostages are already dead, negotiations appear to lead nowhere anytime soon. (2) We look at the Government News Media propaganda to slander Tucker Carlson with the Orwellian thought control policies of the Biden administration with the Amazon Files confirming this longstanding policy to censor conservatives and all who oppose the regime. In our study, Micah exposes the same sort of wicked influence of "Church and State" in Israel 7th & 8th centuries just as we see in the U.S., today.
