King Hezekiah chose to be a compromiser. That led to problems for him and for the nation of Judah. He desired more time to live, and God granted him 15 more years, but he squandered that time.

Hezekiah was a dangerous king. He portrayed himself as a God-fearing king, but he was not. Even the enemies of God knew he was a fraud. It was of God's mercy that the people of Israel did not rebel more against him. It is important a godly leader to be a godly leader.

This week we continue in Thessalonians with Paul's prayer to the Lord regarding his request for them to grow in Love toward one another and the others. We take a look at love and the perversion of love in our culture. We look at our responsibility to bring truth in the form of God's word to our neighbors. The world's notion that all reproof and correction is hating others is false and unscriptural. Leviticus 19:17 shows us that we have a responsibility to bring reproof to our neighbor and that if we don't we hate our neighbor. Proverbs 13:24 shows us that if we keep training, reproof and discipline from our children we are in fact hating them. We also look at the blue print of building spiritual Love in our lives with 2 Peter 1:5-8. Lastly we are see that if we are reproved that we are to not ignore it but to turn towards that reproof and correction. Proverbs 1:23.

On this podcast, we see how Hezekiah reacts when he becomes king.

This week we continue in Thessalonians with Paul's prayer to the Lord regarding visiting the believing church in Thessalonica and his request for them to grow in Love toward one another and the others. We look at man's tendency to be prowd of his accomplishments and when the Lord humbles them for it. We look at the OT law about loving one's neighbor in Lev 19 and see how far astray our culture and even sometimes the church is in obeying such commands. I quote and critique statements by Marx and Kendi in light of Leviticus. We finish with Paul's commendation of the Thessalonians in the second letter for their love for each other.

Working on Making wise Steps Proverbs 14:23;6:6-11; 24:30-34; Since this is Labor Day, this is the perfect time to examine what Proverbs mentions about work. Some people work, and some only talk about working. Still others talk when they should be working. The clear-cut contrasts in this proverb are…labor versus talk .profit versus poverty. This is a simple proverb contrasting productive performance with mere talk. People who work hard are rewarded with profit, but those who do not work lack life's necessities. Laziness is a problem within society, no matter where it is uncovered. Lazy people are inefficient, less productive, more likely to have accidents, and fail to contribute all they can to society. Lazy workers produce less; lazy students learn less; and lazy property owners have unkempt, unattractive, and deteriorating properties. These proverbs should speak to the heart of the lazy. A tekton was 'someone who could work with wood, metal, or stone. He could be a builder, a mason, or a carpenter. In Jesus' Palestinian context, it probably denoted a woodworking handyman.'' Jesus knew what it was like to do difficult work. The creator of the universe (John 1:3; Col. 1:16; Heb. 1:2) was a laborer. On the night of his arrest, Jesus prayed to the Father, ''I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do'' (John 17:4). In all of his work-whether it was his work as a carpenter, his work as a teacher, or his work as a Savior dying for the sins of the world-Jesus glorified the Father.

The church exists to worship. When the church is corrupted, it must be reformed that true worship can exist again. In Hezekiah we see a reforming king who understands that reformation and revival are closely linked. In the same way Christ revives his Church through Reformation.
