Understanding the Bible

Elihu speaks about wisdom from God. He gets a lot of things right in his discourse to Job, but some things are wrong and we should be willing to learn from what he says.

Remember, that Job suffered the loss of his children in addition to his businesses, his house, his health, his friends, and even his wife. Don't forget the humanity of people when you give out wisdom or advice from the Bible. Elihu did.

This episode is quite the opposite of what we found in the book of Job. Job's "friends" were not faithful to God or to Job and in fact they turned against him and proved that they were not true friends in the end.

This story is about 4 friends who went to great effort to help a friend in need. So much so, that they tore apart the roof of someone's house. You have to hear this story today!

(Also starring my 9 year old daughter Eve - she tells a great story!)

Job suffered, and his friends attacked him for it. They revealed their character by choosing to attack Job without evidence.
The Proper Christian response/take away
1. Suffering is not always the result of sin
2. Maintain your integrity before God - people will not know or speak the truth
3. Cry out to God for answers
4. Never lose faith in God
5. Wisdom, knowledge, and ultimate justice will come from God
"In all this, Job sinned not".

Happy Independence Day! I hope you get to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States of America with lots of friends, family, joy, and fireworks! (Or guns and blowing things up, whatever floats your boat!)

America was founded because of the courage of young men in their 20's and 30's and 40's who believed in the creator God of the Bible and the principles of freedom found in it.

Listen to this episode today to remember and celebrate the liberty we have in Christ and the freedom our brave men and women in uniform have fought for, since 1776!

If you think the Bible isn't interesting, you have to listen to this episode. It's got armies, talking animals, angels, magic, sacrifice, justice and a whole lot more!

Some of the highlights:
What is an actual curse according to the Bible?
Are cusswords the same as cursing?
Does God actually speak audibly to non believers?
Israel was a pretty big deal back in the Old Testament, over 3000 years ago and the proof is in the names, the kings, the countries, the cities, and historical records of all the things they did.
