Sam’s 1st Epic 07 – Ebenezer
Yeah, when I read the word I could only remember A Christmas Carol and Ebenezer Scrooge. (In fact there was also a house tune that had a line that said ‘He’s a scrooge, He’s a scrooge, He’s Ebenezer Scrooge.’ Not that I was into house music much in the past, but a good friend of mine […]

Well meaning, good intentioned people in their well meaning expression of good intentions, sometimes get things wrong. It’s particularly the case when it’s coming from well meaning good intentions that don’t start from the premise of a good relationship. Like people feeling they have permission to talk to you about your life without the insight […]

Make models of the tumors and of the rats that are destroying the country, and give glory to Israel’s god. Perhaps he will lift his hand from you and your gods and your land. Why do you harden your hearts as the Egyptians and Pharaoh did? When Israel’s god dealt harshly with them, did they […]

There was a thinking in the day that said that the battle of nations was also a battle of the gods.

Thus when one nation conquered […]

She named the child Ichabod, saying, “The glory has departed from Israel!” because the ark of God had been captured and because of her father-in-law and her husband. And she said, “The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been captured.” (1 Samuel 4:21, 22 ESV) Any cheery, happy-go-lucky, ‘always look […]

It’s not always good having conversations with some people if you want to avoid challenges. I had such an experience recently. My associate was explaining how he found it odd that on a Sunday morning people would gather in a building for a few hours but have little to no impact on the surrounding area […]

The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground. (1 Samuel 3:19 NIV) The call of Samuel is a very intriguing one. Lots of elements can be explored in it and others have done a great job outlining them. What this encounter says to […]
