God Spot
This Christian Resource Blog has been created by a group of friends from around the world. Our purpose is to provide links to useful resources, some commentary on topical or doctrinal issues, a place where anyone can come with questions and a means whereby we can share our faith. And above all, to grow and encourage each other. As Christians, we believe we bear God's image in this world, and seek to glorify God's name in this endeavour. Any Christian who wants to join with us is very welcome!

BSF Tonight

Tonight, our lecture will be given by a young guy Craig (the admin officer) as Grant is having a break and we don't have a 2IC (SubTL in the BSF jargon for substitute teaching ldr). I'm sure Craig will do it well, prayers are with him and as he inferred Sat morning, preparing such a talk (on the lives of kings Abijah - who was "half-hearted" 1Ki15:3 - and Asa) is a rich blessing in itself.

Now, a question! In 2Chr13:4 Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Jeroboam and all Israel, listen to me!"

Seems that Abijah atop that mountain was addressing Jeroboam and his 800,000 troops (v.3). How on earth did he do this? Did they have amplifiers or something (or big horns!)???

Doing this week's BSF q's, it's easy to be harsh on Asa (who definitely mucked up late in life by not trusting God in a couple of significant matters). But this is what we have been left on record of Asa by God surely as warnings to us - not so that we can judge the guy.

In fact, God has this to say of Asa: 2Chr14:2 "Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God", and 2Chr15:17 "Asa's heart was fully committed to the LORD all his life". As one of the leaders said Sat morning, for Asa it's "promising"! Indeed, probably a lot more promising than for Solomon?? (for whom we don't have such a report card).
