Food for Thought – “We are all here for a spell; get all the good laughs you can.”

Just for Laughs – Two would-be fisherman rented a boat, and one caught a large fish. “We should mark the spot” he said. The second man drew a large X in the bottom of the boat with a black marker. “That’s no good,” said the first man. “Next time out, we may not get the same boat.”

Obadiah: The Church’s Enemies Will Be Judged! by Curtis Baker

Curtis Bakerby Curtis Baker

Today the church is under a lot of scrutiny. From every side the church is facing voices that are critical of her, and even the present author has from time to time has thrown a jab or two at my own perceptions of her failings. But as we continue on with our study here in the Minor Prophets, our next prophet brings some added balance to that picture. As much as the church may take rightful criticism from time to time, a person must not forget who the church is–it is the people of God himself. God is very jealous for his church, and despite its many failings, it is the witness of God on earth. Therefore, “if judgment begins in the house of God, how much worse for those who do not obey the gospel of God!” (1 Peter 4:17)

This is what the small prophetic book of Obadiah reminds us of. As we move along through our study of the prophets, we will see plenty of voices critical of Israel, God’s covenant people of the Old Testament period. But in the midst of that criticism comes a reminder of who Israel truly is. They are the sons and daughters of God…the people who have made covenant with him. To attack ancient Israel is to attack God himself.
