Is God the Same in the Old and New Testaments? |
|
Sheila Alewine |
When you think of God in the New Testament, you probably think of Jesus - working miracles and sacrificing of himself for others. But God in the Old Testament is often wrathful. Old Testament tales are filled with warfare and violence. How do we reconcile these two pictures?

3 Things Christians Can Learn from King Asa's Mistakes |
|
Hope Bolinger |
Many of us may not recognize the name 'Asa' as a significant Biblical character. However, King Asa (from the kingdom of Judah) had a great ruling streak until the very latter years of his life.
For those unfamiliar with Israel's history, after the time of King Solomon, the Kingdom of Israel split into two factions: the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. The Northern Kingdom produced all evil rulers. Not one of them followed the paths of righteousness.
Although the Southern kingdom had its share of terrible kings, which ultimately led to its downfall and captivity in Babylon (Daniel 1), a number of godly leaders found their way throughout the Southern Kingdom's history.
Asa was among these, for most of his life.
Son of the evil King Abijah (1 Kings 15), Asa undid many of the reforms of his father and evil grandmother Maakah. Nevertheless, Asa had a number of faults that cut his reign short after roughly three decades.
Let's learn what happened in Asa's life, and explore how to avoid some of his mistakes in our everyday lives.
