  • Sayings

    I've been studying Ezekiel 18.  The chapter is about a saying that God hated.  The parents have eaten sour grapes, but their children's mouths pucker at the tastel  The saying means this:  "A child will suffer for what the parent does".   God then corrects this thought with this:  "Each person will be held individually for their own actions."  

    What sayings or wise tales can you think of?  What would God say about it?

  • My Ezekiel Study
    It's impressive to see how America honored President Gerald Ford.   In a span of a year he went from House Majority Leader to Vice President to President.  At a time when America was full of scandal; President Ford brought integrity and forgiveness.     

    In history, who impressed you the most.  (Jesus is a given.)
