The book of Judges embarks on a inspirational and insightful journey as we follow the footsteps of God's people in Canaan who He established in the Promised Land.  While God gave the Hebrews land as their inheritance, they needed to walk by faith and obedience to God to receive it.  Seeing their faith and flaws shows us our own need to seek God, believe His word and courageously work to do His will.

2025-03-02 Ben Grisez Judges 1. 1-15  Our Living Inheritance

Synopsis:  After God gave the children of Israel an inheritance in the land of Canaan, He enabled them to drive out the inhabitants bit by bit.  While God gave great success, no tribe completely drove out the inhabitants of the land but dwelt among them, compromised with them and used strength God gave them to put them under tribute.  This illustrates the responsibility God has given every Christian to trust and obey Jesus to enter into the inheritance of spiritual fruitfulness He has determined for all His children.

And Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. And the name of the city was called Hormah.

Also Judah took Gaza with the coast thereof, and Askelon with the coast thereof, and Ekron with the coast thereof.

And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley,




Judges 1:17-19
King James Bible

Gaza with her towns and her villages,

because they had chariots of iron.

Because the children of Israel forsook the LORD and did not heed His word, He told them He would no longer drive out their enemies before them.  God would allow enemies to remain and for His people to face calamity for their sin so they might be tested, turn to Him again and walk in His ways.  Only God has the power to redeem the calamity of sin for good.

Trump’s War With the Courts

Deborah was a prophetess who also judged Israel in a season when the Hebrews had been oppressed for decades by King Jabin of Canaan.  Through her bold leadership God confirmed His call upon Barak to muster an army, and the LORD was faithful to defeat Sisera and his 900 chariots of iron.  God uses unlikely people like Barak, Amos and Jael to do His will and overcome all odds, because God does the impossible.

Synopsis:  After God delivered Israel from Sisera and his 900 chariots of iron, Deborah and Sisera joined together in song to praise God.  When leaders took the lead in the fear of God, when God's people willingly offered themselves to Him in faith and obedience, He gave them victory over their enemies and enduring rest.  By God's grace, those who love God will shine like the sun in full strength.

After God's people did evil in His sight, He delivered them into the hands of the Midianites for 7 years who oppressed and impoverished them.  Before saving His people, God prepared them by sending a prophet.  The Angel of the LORD then called Gideon to deliver Israel from their oppressors by God's might, for the LORD is Peace.

A guerra das taxas alfandegárias está para lá do bom senso? A Boeing poderá vir a ter problemas com a decisão chinesa? A decisão do supremo tribunal do Reino Unido sobre o que é uma mulher é um retrocesso? Para as pessoas trans? Para as mulheres? O MP é politicamente interventivo, em Portugal? Os poderes executivo e judicial estão em guerra, nos EUA? As deportações nos EUA são a marca do fim da democracia?

Ep. 255 - China e Boeing; Trans no Reino Unido; A política do MP; Deportações EUA

After the LORD called Gideon to deliver Israel from their oppressors, he obeyed God to destroy his father's altar to Baal, build an altar to God, and sacrifice his father's bull on the altar using an image as fuel.  Gideon obeyed God and the Holy Spirit came upon him to muster God's people to battle.  God confirmed His word with signs, and this ought to encourage us to obey Him!
