CURRICULAR REPCRTS SECTHGN l -- B BLE STUDY J UDGES Our study in the book of Judges was very practical for us today seeing that we live in a much similar setting as the Israelites did. In the time of the Judges, everyone did what was right in his own eyes causing much confusion. We studied the life of the fif- teen judges who judged Israel and also the enemies each judge fought against. We saw the importance of having spiritual leadership. Israel repeatedly sinned and for- got the Lord their God. They worshiped the gods of the heathen round about them, whom God had commanded to be destroyed. God poured out judgment on Israel for dis- obeying His command and turning to heathen gods. It was a real challenge to see how we today -live in a heathen country with evil around us on every side. The test for us is, are we serving God with all our heart, or are we looking at the heathen and evil doings around us and finding pleasure therein? Taking Jephthah as an example, let us rise to the challenge before us and live a holy life in spite of the circumstances in which we find ourselves. -ELVIN HoRsT I 8z II KINGS I Corinthians 10:11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. It is for this reason we study books like I Sz II Kings. In these books we see God's blessing on those who love and obey Him and His judg- ment on those who disobey Him. In Chapters 1 and 2 of I Kings, we see the end of David's reign and the establish- ment of Solomon on the throne. In Chapter 3:1-15 we see Solomon's wise choice of ask- mg for wisdom and the results of it on through Chapter 10. After this we see some foolish choices which finally result in the divided kingdom. . From then on we see the downward course Of a nation that forgets God in the Northern Kingdom. J eroboam, the first king of Israel, started the. downward course by establishing calf worship instead of the worship of God. It finally reached its climax in the reign of Ahab .who did worse than all the kings be- fore hrm by establishing Baal Worship. The end of a nation that forgets God is judgment as shown in II King 17. The Southern Kingdom's fall was a little slower. They had a few good kings scattered in among the bad ones. But they also slid into apostasy in spite of repeated warnings by faithful prophets such as Isaiah and oth- ers. When they refused to follow God, there was nothing left for Him to do but bring them to destruction. Let us be challenged to profit by the mis- takes of others and live a life of faithfulness to God and His Word. -KENNETH Goon J EREMIAH The name Jeremiah signifies, the Lord throws. This is a very fitting name for a prophet who vividly foretold the oncoming judgment and the overthrowing of Judah and Jerusalem. Jeremiah is often referred to as the weep- ing prophet because of his love and concern for his people. The main thrust in his pro- phecies was judgment because of vile and corrupt worship practices. We notice that on numerous occasions Jeremiah is pleading with the people to forsake their evil ways and serve the living God. But they harkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward and not forwardf' Jeremiah 7:24. One of the challenges this study puts be- fore us is where do we find our fellowship? Is it among those who are taking the same downward course as Judah, or do we seek it with those who ask for the old paths wherein is the good way, and walk therein? May the Lord help us to be numbered with those who are willing to follow the old paths which lead to life everlasting. -Mosiss MILLER 22
