Landmines after Victory Judges 8:1-21
Let us be as watchful after the victory as before the battle. - Scottish Presbyterian Pastor Andrew Bonar
Matthew 19:45 He answered, Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh ? ESV
Genesis 2:18 Then the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him. ESV
Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth. ESV
1 Corinthians 7:12 Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman. But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. ESV
1 Corinthians 7:34 The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. ESV
1 Corinthians 7:56 Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. Now as a concession, not a command, I say this. ESV
1 Corinthians 6:910 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. ESV
Psalm 94:14 For the Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; ESV
Matthew 28:1920 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. ESV
Hebrews 4:16 Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. ESV
Romans 8:28 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ESV
Romans 10:13 For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ESV
Isaiah 49:23 Kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. With their faces to the ground they shall bow down to you, and lick the dust of your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who wait for me shall not be put to shame. ESV
John 14:15 If you love me, you will keep my commandments. ESV
John 14:18 I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ESV
Romans 1:2122 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, ESV
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. ESV
Proverbs 16:32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. ESV
Are we tempted to conquer a city? Is it worth it? Is the cost, the fallout worth it? The shame? What would Jesus do?
Proverbs 17:14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water, so quit before the quarrel breaks out. ESV
Mighty men and women are those who rule over their spirits and are not ruled by their spirits.

Hospitality is a Biblical law that demands one meet the needs of strangers and relatives.
1 Peter 4:9 Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. ESV
Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. ESV
Romans 12:13 Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. ESV
Helping a stranger or a brother is helping the Lord Jesus.
Matthew 25:40 And the King will answer them, Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me. ESV
To not be hospitaible is to invite the discipline and correction of the LORD.
It is one of the marks of a disciple of the LORD Jesus; walking in His ways and will, modeling love practically.
Sin of Omission - failing to do what is right or failing to do as instructed by God.
Flattery is praising another for the purpose of gaining favor or influence.
