Judges 8:1-35

After following the God-given victory over the Medians Gideon goes off on a mission of vengeance. Not only does he pursue two kings because they killed his brothers, but he also turns on his own people when they refuse to help.

We need to learn to be as cautious after the battle as we were going into the battle. Today there are millions of unexploded landmines still in the ground after many of the wars around the world. It is cheaper to leave the unexploded mines in the f=ground than remove them. The problem is that these landmines continue to be active for years just waiting for someone to step on them and destroy lives long after the war is over.

After Gideon refused to be crowned King he and his family lived like kings. Often we lose the victory after winning the war. 

These non-denominational Bible studies are led by Dr. Val and recorded live. Some 20-25 men meet weekly at 6:30 AM for an hour. They study and discuss a passage from Scripture. Questions are encouraged and often lead to interesting rabbit trails that help us discover and process additional Biblical truths.
