04/17/25 • 12 min

In 1 Samuel 14, we see Saul make a rash vow, putting his men under demands that didn't require, nor command. As a result, his son Jonathan's life is on the line as he unintentionally breaks this vow. The two questions arise from this passage - 1) Should Saul have followed through with his vow and killed his son, Jonathan, for breaking it? and 2) What is the lesson this passage teaches us?

Episode 119 - A Most Disgusting Story - Judges 19 - 21

Let's be honest, there are some stories of some pretty depraved people in Scripture. But perhaps none is so vile as the story of the Levite found in the book of Judges in chapters 19 - 21. What makes this story even worse, is that eleven tribes of Israel declare the twelfth tribe guilty and go to war against it based off of this one man's testimony; something the Bible prohibits us from doing. Sadly, this same thing occurs even today.

There is no shortage of Scriptures that false teachers rip out of the Bible, twist, and pervert; and 1 Samuel 24 is no exception. In this chapter, we see David having a chance to kill King Saul and move along God's plan for him to become king of Israel, but he doesn't because as he says, he will not touch God's anointed. What does this passage really mean and how are so many false teachers lying about it to push their own demonic teaching?
