Text: Job 1:9-19
Synopsis: Job suffered four catastrophes in a single day, and in each case one and only one servant lived to carry the bad news back to Job. Could it be that these servants, out of the many in Job’s household, were chosen by Satan specifically for this task? We should be careful that we do not become purveyors of negativism and discouragement.
Scripture Reading: Acts 5:1-11
Ananias and Sapphira were a couple in the early church who sold a possession and gave part of the proceeds to the church, then lied about how much they made off of the transaction. Their sin wasn’t in giving less than the full amount; there was no requirement that they do so. But in saying they were giving it all when in fact they were giving only a portion, they were guilty of lying to the Holy Ghost. The sin was so grevious that they were struck dead on the spot.
