So spoke Sennacherib's field commander to the people of Judah. His words must have scorched the conscience of the king of Judah, Hezekiah. While ever things ran smooth for him, he had no need of the Lord God. When a ruthless and powerful enemy threatened, he claimed...

It is far easier to 'talk the talk' than 'walk the walk.' Sadly, hypocrisy is a native human propensity, so we have to make an effort to resist it. But humans can be even worse that hypocrites. Truth to tell: WE want to make the rules; WE want God to honor our facile...
