Tale of Two Kings
The word of God can penetrate deep into the heart and soul to reveal our thoughts and intents.

Lifting Up Hands
When Amalek attacked Israel in the wilderness, God told Moses for them to fight back. Up on the hill overlooking the battle, Moses held up the staff of God. When he did so, Israel prevailed over Amalek. But when he dropped his hands, Amalek would have the upper hand. So, Moses got help in holding up the staff, and Israel won the day. What was the deal with the staff, and what spiritual applications do we find in this event for the church today?

This could be one reason why the church itself is shrinking in many places.
