This website is hosted by Robert Wurtz II. This blog is intended to be a means of putting into writing some of my musings about New Testament Christianity in a post modern culture. We are instructed in scripture to, "Gird up the loins of our minds."
God taught Nebuchadnezzar an important lesson. I sometimes say that "there is a generation that doesn't learn by lecture, illustration or revelation; but by destruction and devastation." Destruction deals with loss; devastation deals with the emotional response to that loss. Nebuchadnezzar learned the hard way that God is in control of the kingdoms of this world.
Jesus said, “It shall not be so among you” that leadership “lords over” the saints. But this does not stop men from disobeying Him in His name.
In the article, the author explores the story of Adonijah, son of King David, who ambitiously sought the throne for himself, reminiscent of his brother Absalom. Despite his charm and efforts to gather support, Adonijah's aspirations conflicted with God's choice of Solomon to build the Temple, highlighting the theme of divine purpose versus personal ambition. The article underscores the importance of parental discipline, noting that David's failure to correct Adonijah contributed to his misguided pursuits. Ultimately, Adonijah's treachery leads to his execution, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of prioritizing personal power over God's plans. The author draws parallels to modern political schemes, urging readers to focus on collective efforts for the greater good rather than individual glory in building God's kingdom.
