We apologize for the technical difficulties on this episode and we pray that the message is clear. If you missed something, please let us know.

In Genesis 18 we find the story of a group of men visiting Abraham and his wife Sarah. It is a simply biblical story that hides quite a lot of details that Andrew and Robert discuss. It also has much that is still applicable today? Is there something they missed from their discussion? Let them know why writing to them using email or twitter!

Let's be honest, we would like to do whatever we want to do when we want to do it but is that God's way? God has outlined for us what is the right way to live which always turns out best for us. Leviticus 18 is one of these chapters that  gives clear directions on what we should do as children of his. Robert and Andrew go over this chapter in this episode of True Wisdom.

Samuel the Prophet has many interesting stories in the Bible detailing his service to God starting even before his birth. In 1st Samuel 7, Robert and Andrew cover one story of his main responsibility of judging God's people, the Israelites. 

The weeping prophet, Jeremiah, had to face quite a bit as a servant of God. Being truthful to those in power brought him a lot of anguish, BUT had the king followed his advice Israel would have been better off. 

What are you doing in your life that is going against the good advice the Bible is providing for you? What will be the outcome??

Hebrews 11, the Faith Chapter. Paul goes over the history of Israel and the individual walks of Faith that should be an inspiration to us all. What message can we get from Hebrews 11?

Reading from Jeremiah 35, Andrew and Robert discuss a family that was faithful for many generations. What stands out is that this family wasn't faithful to something that God said specifically, but to something an ancestor said that should do many years prior. And yet God was still going to bless them for their faithfulness!!

Are we living a life faithful enough to be blessed for it?

God micromanaged the Israelites in the desert.  For us today the term "micromanage" is looked down on. It shows a leader that doesn't believe in the capabilities of those being led. But let's look at it another way, doesn't a loving mother micromanage a baby until they are able to better function for themselves?
Coming right out of Egypt, after being in bondage for hundreds of years, didn't the Isr...

Reading from Ecclesiastes 12, Andrew and Robert discuss the imagery that King Solomon paints of  age and how it can affect your relationship with God. Can we just wait until we are older before we choose Christ as our Saviour? Is there a benefit to seeking salvation when we are young?

You (WE) are responsible for our actions even when we are impaired. States and Nations have declared that to be the truth and so has God. How do we know for certain?

When did God gain wisdom? What does the wisest man to ever live have to say about the impact of wisdom on our lives and how it relates to God? Reading from Proverbs 8, Andrew and Robert talk about the personification of wisdom in the scriptures. 

In Acts 20:1-16, Paul preaches so long that a young lad, Eutychus, falls to his death. Paul is able to revive the young man, thank God. That event of speaking to his fellow apostles on Sunday has led some to believe that Sunday became the day of worship for the followers of the Way, people who were to become modern-day Christians. 
Robert and Andrew discuss the merits of this believe and why it is being misinterpreted. 

Andrew and Robert continue on with their study of Psalms 119 as they take a look at David's appreciation of God's law. Is there a major difference between the Law, the Precepts and the Testimonies?

How was she chosen, why was she chosen and what could it mean in your life. Robert and Andrew talk about her standout. execptional rise to position in Esther 2:1-19

2. How Jesus was crucified on Friday, rose on Sunday but still fit the three days in the grave narr...
