This was the point where Saul lost his kingdom and Agag lost his life, and where still eternal destinies are lost or won as we learn the lesson or refuse to be led in triumph by our conquering Lord. God had determined that the race of Amalek and the house of Agag should be utterly exterminated. They were not to be spared, but to be destroyed. It was a case of no compromise. There was nothing good in them. The least element of Agagism was destructive, and the whole community, with all their goods and belongings, must be put out of existence, just as the effects of a household where some one had died of some contagious disease must be wholly given to the flames. This is God’s decree against the flesh in us. It cannot be cleansed; it cannot be improved; it cannot be cultivated; it cannot be educated into good ideas and principles. The flesh must be exterminated." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many would you say? The prodigal is no really a good example. He took his inheritance and left the safety of his house. He then acted as one in a fallen state. How many times did his father forgive Him? How many times would you say that you need to seek forgiveness? Would it be everyday. Would you say that you ever walked one day perfectly. How many times should we ask for forgiveness? Edited November 12, 2017 by Mike Mclees 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank God for such trouble, to keep our eyes upward. Choosing to be in harmony with God, and living without any consideration for truth makes a vast difference in destiny, but it does not change the fact that God gives gifts of righteousness through humanity, goodness belongs to Jesus, it comes from Him and is freelt distributed to humanity, but it is not appreciated by the world. All good gifts come from the Father of lights in Whom there is no shadow of turning. On the day of Judgment, it will not be contested whether a person is a sinner or not, but what did they did with the righteousness of God, through the grace He has given the world, and for the striving of the Holy Spirit to rebuild a right character and heart for every human being, through the merits of Christ's sacrifice. Our salvation is based on what we do with Jesus. If we receive Him as both Savior and Lord of our lives we will be welcomed into His family and His Kingdom. My soul was saved in the 50s. I am still being saved from my sinful nature. My body will be saved at the resurrection. No man is saved by works. Eternal life is a gift. Rom 6:23 NKJV For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Joh 1:12 NKJV But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: Joh 1:13 who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Rom 10:9 AMP Because if you acknowledge and confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe (adhere to, trust in, and rely on the truth) that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Rom 10:10 For with the heart a person believes (adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Christ) and so is justified (declared righteous, acceptable to God), and with the mouth he confesses (declares openly and speaks out freely his faith) and confirms [his] salvation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching that comes from the glorious Good News entrusted to me by our blessed God. 1 Timothy 1:8-11 (New Living Translation) His Priceless Blood Frees The Hopeless Slave "Come now, and let us reason together," says the LORD: "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow.

But do we really believe that to be true? Or do we recognize there is something more sinister at work in human nature? Many of those forces mentioned can be considered sinister. Certainly social conditioning is huge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Lewis said, one must have at least one virtue to make one great. However counterintuitive that notion might seem to be at first glance, Hollywood again gives us multiple examples that demonstrate its truth. Think about Saruman as played by Christopher Lee in The Lord of the Rings ... So driven is he to rid Middle Earth of Sauron ... that he becomes consumed by it. Through his courage, insight, and determination, Saruman becomes at once Sauron’s ally and rival as he succumbs to the power the Ring. Lewis’ friend J. R. R. Tolkien has it right: Studying the enemy’s methods too much will, whatever the original noble motivation, reproduce him in us...." The wicked have a catalogue of virtues. Imaging a bumbling criminal. Suppose one forgets their plan? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
