Life every day Jan/Feb 2019 - Jeff Lucas

INFAMOUS SCOUNDRELSA mark of Christian maturity is being prepared to learn from other's errors of judgment - rather than repeating the mistakes made by previous generations. In this study of biblical rogues, we learn about their foolishness, their wrong choices and their determination not to obey, or listen to, God. These characters are deliberately included in the Bible to encourage us to act in a different way. We read about the wiles and lies of Potiphar's wife, the sneers of Michal, and the conundrum of Judas Iscariot - what was he thinking? Whereas Paul was utterly transformed and made a complete turnaround, in his thoughts, beliefs and actions. With his usual mixture of humour and insight, Jeff Lucas encourages us to learn from the big mistakes and failings made by these infamous rogues.
