Grace for your spirit. September 7, 2012

Grace for your spirit
Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD. I Samuel 2:12

At this time in Israel, the people looked to their Judges for guidance. Eli was one of the Judges and was given the challenge to raise and train Samuel. Unfortunately for the time being, Eli and his sons were in charge. His sons were worthless, immoral, and did not know the Lord. It was a disastrous combination that ruined Israel. We can relive the disasters of history, when we do the same things. When we allow our churches to be ran by worthless, immoral people who do not know the Lord, congregations will die. Unaware disciples can let unprincipled leader destroy the church. We must study the scriptures and accept nothing less than what God calls for in our leaders. Are we doing anything to secure leadership for our future?
