2004 Annual, Volume 1: Training (Loose-Leaf Pages)

God's people forget God. They scarcely survive, crushed by their own choices. When they cry to Him, He restores truth through judges. These six short stories show their cycle: sin, suffering and salvation. Othniel, surrounded by evil, remains faithful to God's truth. Ehud stirs hope in God. Shamgar defends God's Name. Deborah and Barak find protection in His truth. Gideon learns God is enough. Abimelech, without acknowledging God's worth, never finds his own. And so, God's people forget, sin and suffer. Has God forgotten?He waits. And draws them back to Himself. Today God still says, But You Have Not Obeyed Me. Yet He Has Not Forgotten. All He asks is obedience.
