Misguided Demands (Part C)

God's spiritual authority is separate from civil authority, and Christians must be careful not to mix the two. The people of Israel wanted a king like the other nations, but God warned them that this would lead to a loss of spiritual sensitivity and a shallow faith. Samuel, the prophet, warned the people of the consequences of their choice, but they refused to listen. The monarchy was established, and the people were given a king, but they soon realized that this was not the solution to their problems. The Christian must be willing to suffer for Christ and not be ashamed of their faith, even in the face of persecution. [... more]

The altar symbolizes the importance of faith, prayer, and submission to God, as seen in the lives of Moses and Samuel, who were models of prayer and favor with God. [... more]
