Read: 1 Samuel 13:1-15
You have not kept the commandment of the Lord . . . . Now your kingdom shall not continue. —1 Samuel 13:13-14
Bible In One Year: Deuteronomy 23-25; Mark 14:1-26
I always knew that disobedience has consequences, but it came home to me forcibly in basic training during World War II. I had traveled beyond the distance allowed on my weekend pass to be with my wife Ginny, and I returned to camp late because the train had broken down. I paid for my rule-breaking—20 hours of extra duty washing pots and pans!
King Saul also learned the high cost of disobedience. He faced the prospect of fighting a huge well-equipped Philistine army with his small band of frightened and untrained followers. While waiting for Samuel to come and offer a sacrifice before going to battle, Saul became impatient and offered the sacrifice himself, even though he knew that God had given that right only to the priests. It was a costly mistake.
Saul had begun his reign with humility and compassion, and he gave God the credit (1 Samuel 11). And the prophet Samuel told him that God would have kept the kingship in his family if he had obeyed God's command (13:13-14). But that one act of disobedience changed the course of his life. From that point on, it was a sad downhill journey.
Never forget that disobedience has consequences. And some of them may be very costly. —Herb Vander Lugt
HAPPY LORD'S DAY TO YOU ALL!!!
THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE!
LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT!
So!
Jean Kerry want's to have a series of debates with President Bush?
After his "slip_of_the_toungue-I_forgot_the_mic_was_on" moment?
He really insulted me with that insensative and untrue remark.
I'm a proud Republican and a GOD fearing CHRISTIAN WOMAN!
Hear that Jean F(For Frenchman) Kerry?
Now on that note!
Null and Void told me to consider the source of that inane remark by a man who would abandon our country to the "mercy"of those terrorists and destroy our military as well as our way of life if elected president.
Hey! I think I managed to "Hannitize" a woman I know in my fraternity of Secular Franciscans.
I had help from another Conservative Republican though! HEE! HEE!
But if I am to get at least three people each to vote for the Republican candidates for all offices up for grabs this election year. then I have two more folks to "Hannitize"!
(Hmm! Maybe I could Hannitize a certian Dem bus-driver!)LOL!
But back to that insensative remark about Republicans being a bunch of crooks and liars!
As human beings, we are all flawed to some degree. weather Democrat or Republican;Black or White;Christian or Jew or Muslim!
If we were ALL perfect there would be no wars or terrorists.
Jean Kerry is unfairly labeling a certain group of people in one lump. Now I ask you, is this any way for a would-be leader of a nation to be?
He's starting to remind me of Saddam Hussien!
Like Hussian, Kerry has no love for America or the American people.
Just like Saddam Hussian had no love for Iraq or the Iraqi people!
It scares me to death to think there are people out there who would willingly elect a man like Jean Kerry to the highest office in the land.
The tragedy of it would be that not only will the Dems regret thier choice, but WE ALL will pay dearly for this!
PLEASE DEAR GOD! LET PRESIDENT BUSH WIN IN NOVEMBER!
Not only for my sake but for the sake of the future of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and our FREE REPUBLIC!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT PRESIDENT BUSH FROM ALL HARM BOTH PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL and POLITICAL
MAY HIS ENEMIES BE FEW AND HIS FRIENDS BE MANY!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR BRAVE TROOPS AND GIVE THEM STRENGTH AND COURAGE AND BRING THEY SAFELY HOME
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT JIM ROBINSON AND ALL WHO POST AND LURK ON FREE REPUBLIC!
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT AMERICA AND HER ALLIES
WITH SPECIAL ATTENTION TO SPAIN.
:/RANT AND PRAYER OVER! :O)
