No matter how hard people try, they cannot totally clear their minds of thoughts about God. Despite the efforts of scientists, educators, authors and governments, most people DO recognize an all-powerful and all-knowing Creator. The Christian emphatically affirms God’s eternal existence. We stand behind the Biblical record that He is “the living & true God” (1 Thess 1:9), and it is our great privilege to know Him not only through His creation, but also through divine revelation. One way for us to know God is by examining His names; the names He used to describe Himself. God revealed Himself by many names in the Scripture, and each name tells us something more about His nature.

One of the great tragedies of the Old Testament is that of King Manasseh. His life certainly proves that sin pays no dividend beyond the actual immediate pleasure of it (Eph 5:5-6; Gal 6:7-8).

The Israelites would have many lessons to learn and relearn through the centuries, from the Lord their God, but if they had simply learned and passed on to their children the lessons learned at Jericho then they could have avoided many of the problems they would face later.
What did God teach Israel at Jericho? They are lessons appropriate for Christians and the church today.

There is a fierce ongoing battle being waged between good and evil, righteousness and wickedness. That battle was lost in Sodom and Gomorrah in Lot’s day (Gen 19). What is even sadder was that the battle was lost in Lot’s family. Let us consider the consequences of that tragic state “When Sodom Lived in Lot’s Family”.

Leadership is important in every aspect of life: government, home, and the church. But not just anyone can be an effective leader - especially in the church. Leadership success in the secular realm does not assure equal success in the spiritual realm. The Word of God tells of men who were effective leaders, and from them we see the qualities required of every spiritual leader.

The great thing about the book of Proverbs is that it points out the consequences of our actions. Solomon used the phrase “in the end” to refer to such matters.
