     | 24,693 views

    We will learn from this chapter that there will be corresponding negative consequences that can happen in our lives whenever we do not hear from God. God wants us to obey His voice always.

    I Samuel chapter three is about the importance of hearing the voice of God from the example of Samuel. We learned that we must be sure of hearing God's voice and not the voice of the enemy because there are many voices out there trying to get our attention. We had to reject other unfamiliar voices ...read more

    We lose God when we emphasize a ritual or object over and above our relationship with God. Don't expect God's blessings without repentance.

    During a service at an old synagogue, when a particular prayer was said, half the congregants stood up and half remained sitting. The half that was seated started yelling at those standing to sit down, and the ones standing yelled at the ones sitting to stand up. The new rabbi didn't know ...read more

    Often a mother’s assignment in life is very difficult. Now if anything negative can be said about mothers, it would be about the names they give their children. I personally think they should pass a law that allows a child that reaches the age of 10 or 12, to have a chance to select the name that ...read more
