Bald... Bears....

 

2 KINGS 2:23-24:  From there Elisha went up to Bethel. As he was walking along the road, some boys came out of the town and jeered at him. “Get out of here, baldy!” they said. “Get out of here, baldy!”  He turned around, looked at them and called down a curse on them in the name of the Lord. Then two bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the boys.

• Teach boys how to react when around bears
• God loves “baldies”
• Don’t make fun of bald people… they really don’t like it
• Be careful not to ask for bad things or pray curses on people
• R-E-S-P-E-C- T (admire, high regard, think highly of, have a high opinion of, look up to)
• Word of God
• It is much more than stories
• Word of God is powerful
• Know what it says and means serious consequences
• Logic and intelligence is not enough
• Your elders
• Men of God
• Bad company…corrupts good morals - I Corinthians 15:33
• Take the things of God seriously
• False truths get mauled

INTERNET QUOTE:  “Not only mauled by the Truth – but frozen – immoblilized by doubt, evil, and disrespect”
