1SAMUEL 30-31:
The
Philistines mustered their armies for full-scale war with Saul and
the Israelites. Saul had already done the right thing in expelling
all the mediums from Israel. But, since God had turned from him and
would not answer him, he resorted to a medium during his darkest
hour. It does not bother me too much to say that God spoke through
that medium. It seems so by the evidence. But if so, it was an
exception. God's word says to never consult a medium. In fact,
mediums are to be stoned to death. David was preparing to go to war
in support of Achish, or was he really?!
PSALM 106b:
Psalm 106 is a companion to 105, as it again is
a historical psalm. I see a very significant correspondence with
the section of Romans we are now reading. Can you see
it?
Re-reading ROMANS 10, plus 11:1-2a:
Some
of the most famous and often quoted words of the New Testament are
in this chapter. Paul continues to compare and contrast God's way
vs. the Jewish default way.
