2nd Kings 18:3 describesHezekiah as a model King. Who did what was right in the sight of the Lord, just as his ancestor David had done.

However, like David, Hezekiah did not always lead with God. Under threat of attack from the King of Assyria, Hezekiah gave away the gold and other treasures of the temple. Allowing the ungodly to plunder the things of God.

In our modern world it is so easy for us to allow the ungodly to plunder the things of God in our lives.

However, as Hezekiah found later when he prayed, allowing God to lead him, the threat facing his nation were eliminated and the King of Assyria who caused all the trouble was killed.

Hezekiah, was imperfect and so are we and that is why we should lead with God.

In the Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) Jesus engages in a debate with an expert in the Law about what it means to inherit eternal life. Eternal life is obtained when we love the Lord God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus illustrates that everyone is our neighbor by telling the story of how the despised Samaritan showed kindness to a Jew who had been robbed and left for dead.

In a sermon teaching from the Parable Of The Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37), Pastor Marben Bland discusses how the world will view Christians as wacky as go about the world loving our neighbor.

The plague of gun violence kills more kids in America, die than anything else in our land.

God sends a series of ten plagues to pressure Pharoah to let the enslaved Israelites go free. Pharaoh mostly dismisses them until the plague that kills the firstborn claims his son.

The Passover is celebrated and remembered as God’s compassion to the faithful as he saves the firstborn of the Israelites.

Today our children need a Passover from the plague of gun violence.

A Passover that is obtainable when we who claim our faithfulness in the God affirm our allegiance to the Sixth Commandment, “not to kill” over the Second Amendment, “the right to bear arms.”

When we do God will show us favor.

The plague will be over and there will be a Passover.

With the presidential election only a few months away many Christians question if they should be involved in politics.

Scriptures like Titus 3:1 calling on us to be submissive and obedient to rules and authorities are often cited as reasons for Christians to not get involved. Jesus himself in Matthew 6:24 said that we cannot serve two masters and that we would have to make a choice between God and money.

However, Jesus through God has given us as stated in Matthew 28:18 authority. With that authority comes the discernment to declare God as our only master as we actively participate in all aspects of society.

We need Christians in business, in medicine, in academia, we need Christians everywhere including politics.

Selecting A Leader, I am Marben Bland, and this is a Living The Word Moment.

Early in person voting in Georgia starts on October 15th, ending on November 1st. So, in a bit more than a month we will be selecting a leader.

When God called Moses to lead, he worried that the things he was asked to do were beyond his capabilities. We may have those same feelings when the Lord calls on us to lead.

However, we must remember that it is not us that will do the work, but rather it will be the Holy Spirit working within us to accomplish the Lord’s will.

So, let us not be afraid to either select or be selected as a leader for the leadership assignment is not ours or the candidate that we elect starting on October 15th, it will be the Lord’s.
