1 Samuel 2:31-35

Friends,—You may read in the old world, how one family after another, till Noah's time, served the Lord God.

I am convinced that the only way to experience the fullness of the joy of Jehovah is to share His grief. God does grieve over sin, and those who truly walk with Him enter into His grief. In the days of Noah, "God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth," and that every imagination of t... Read More

Because of the sinfulness of the priesthood and the people, God was not speaking to Israel. The Bible says, “And the word of the Lord was rare in those days; there was no widespread revelation” (1 Samuel 3:1). Yet, in the middle of this famine of the Word, the Lord appeared to the young Samuel: “The... Read More
