2 Kings Chapter 1
Elijah was a Tishbite. He was from Tishbe in Gilead. Being a prophet of God, he lived a rather colorful and eventful life. Because of his straightforward manner, he fell out of favor with those in authority and was blamed for pretty much everything bad that happened in the land, including a drought and famine. He also upset Jezebel just a titch because he slaughtered four hundred fifty prophets of Baal and four hundred prophets of Asherah whom Jezebel supported. (1 Kings 18). Because of this, Jezebel swore to kill him. Elijah skeedaddled.

There are two lessons to be learned from this intro.

Lesson #1 - Some prophets seem to stir up trouble wherever they go.
Lesson #2 - Girls are scary when they're mad.

Now that we know a bit about Elijah, let's get on with the matter of this message.

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

You cannot change what you will not acknowledge.

When people are aggressive, bossy, or controlling, and it works - meaning they get their way - you have rewarded them for unacceptable behavior

Before we get started, grab your Bibles so you can follow along.

Artists sometimes offer limited editions of their works. They number each of these so that you will know there have been only so many pieces made and which piece you have in your hands. The Ten Commandments were a limited edition. There are only ten of them. Those ten have been cussed and discussed for ages by scholars and street urchins. They have been adopted by societies and governments as a guideline for acceptable behavior. They have been modified to assuage the guilt of liberals wanting to somehow get into heaven, yet ignore what God commands them to do.

Before we can reasonably discuss the Ten Commandments we need to discuss the validity of keeping the Mosaic Law in our Christian lives. The Law of Moses is the whole body of the Mosaic legislation (1Ki. 2:3; 2Ki. 23:25; Ezr. 3:2). It is called by way of eminence simply the Law (Heb. Torah, Deu. 1:5; Deu. 4:8, Deu. 4:44; Deu. 17:18, Deu. 17:19; Deu. 27:3, Deu. 27:8). As a written code it is called the book of the law of Moses (2Ki. 14:6; Isa. 8:20), the book of the law of God (Jos. 24:26). The Mosaic Law refers at once to the commandment of God as the foundation of all human duty. The Hebrew word for Law is halachah, whose root meaning is walk or way.

"Well, I'd like to help out, but I just haven't got the time".

How many times have we all said that?

"I'd like to dedicate more time to my family, my church, my God - but there just aren't enough hours in the day".

What? You too?

But the simple fact is that we have exactly the same amount of free time as we did in 1965 - about 40 hours each week (or so the researchers tell us). So why do we genuinely believe we have less time now than we used to have? Why has our perception changed?
