Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

Judges 8:4-33 by Robert Dean

What happens when the leaders and people of a nation are operating on pure paganism? Listen to this lesson to learn the tragic story of how Gideon went from trusting God for a great victory and then reverted back to paganism. Hear how he took his weary army to Succoth and was treated rudely. See his punishment of the people of Succoth in a way not based on the Mosaic Law. Learn how he turned down a chance to be king but enabled the people of Israel to return to their idol worship.

During the announcements Dr. Dean mentioned the upcoming Pre-Trib Rapture Study Group conference. For more information, visit www.pre-trib.org
