Hello Friends. I'm Kay Graves, aka mama k, from Muleshoe, Texas. I am a homemaker & community volunteer. Married for almost 30 yrs. to my precious hubby, John. We have two adult children. I was a Methodist for about 46 years...now attend the CEC. I find study to be a wonderful way to not only learn, but to hear GOD's voice anew as Holy Spirit guides the time of reading, studying & prayer. I look forward to all the joy that HE will bring forth...from HIS Word....and from HIS people. blessings to all..... mama k <><

My name is Steve McDonald and I'm from NYC. I retired as a Detective from the NYPD on my 20th wedding anniversary in May of 2001. I am presently a fulltime Campus Minister at a Catholic High School and am a part time Youth Minister at my church and another. I learned as an NYPD Detective that there are few coincidences in life. God has led me here and I am looking forward to this Bible study. God bless all of you.

Answer to question 1: Gideon claims that God had abandoned him and the people of Israel. But this appears to be true only from his point of view.But in fact God had not abandoned the people of Israel because when they called out to him for help he sent them a prophet to lead them out of their troubles. We often blame God for our troubles because it is human nature to blame others for our misfortunes. To avoid doing this we must listen to God through his word and learn to obey him in our lives.

Answer to question 2:the reason for Israel's oppressed state is that have disobeyed God in worshipping the God of the AmoritesThey had not listened to him not to worship the gods of the Amorites.

They broke the first two commandments. They had not listened by worship[ping the gods of the Amorites. Christians today are also not listening to god.s commandment to worship Him only and not any other gods be it material success and or money and an undue obsession with worldly matters.

Hi, I'm Pat from Colorado, mother of three and grandmother of two.

I almost live online, since this is where I make my living. I've been reading Dr. Wilson's web sites (all of them!) for quite some time now.

It seems like lately every time I turn around, Gideon's name comes up, so I thought it would be wise to study his story in depth.

Hi. My name is Don and I live in Suisun, CA., about 60 miles west of where Dr. Wilson lives. My family and I attend Calvary Chapel--Solano (a non-denominational church) and I'm active in the worship group playing the keyboards and singing with the young people. We love the Lord Jesus and desire to find out more about the Old Testament and it's pictures (or types) about Jesus. Praise God for this Bible study in His Word!

Hi, Im Chris and I have lived in the UK all of my life.

I was raised in a Christian family and baptized when I was 17. I stopped going to Church when I was 18 and although I never stopped believing for the following 29 years I was not committed to following Christ. It was only when I lost my husband that my journey led me towards Christ once again and I recommitted myself to Christ in November 2000 and was Confirmed at my local Church of England in May 2001. I have not looked back since - ok I have had problems and even times when I really felt deep in the valley but God has always seen me through these times with the help of the support of friends and the Church I attend.

I have always loved studying the bible and find that this study helps me to do even more.
