Texts:
2 Chronicles 10-12
Acts 14

Chronicles:
Moral of today's text--listen to the advice of your elders! Let's make guesses about which generation wrote this text, shall we.
And this text is also another reminder that marriage being defined as between one man and one woman is not the only biblical standard. Polygamy was practiced and supported, at least by the kings of Israel and Judah.

Acts:
Paul is stoned by his own people for his work for the gospel. Their preaching and healing leads people to call them Gods and it seems that no words from Paul will change their mind. Who do we insist to be gods, even after they remind us that they are human?
