Bad Boys of the Bible: Rage, Ruin, and Redemption
Things are pretty simple in the classic Western film. The good guys wear white, and the bad guys wear black. The good guys are clean shaven, and the bad guys have beards. And when the action starts, the bad guys lie, cheat, steal, and bully, and the good guys bring them to justice.Sitting in the audience, we identify with the good guys. The bad guys aren't like us. Unfortunately, we don't live in a black & white world.
The Bible makes a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil. But God's Word also shines a light in our hearts that reveals our true nature—we're not the clean-cut heroes riding the white horses.
This month in Today in the Word, we'll be studying the “bad boys” of the Bible, neither to look down on them nor to glorify their sins. Instead, we will learn about ourselves through these worst of the worst. We'll identify with the men who made the most foolish and wicked mistakes of all time. And we will also find hope in those bad boys whom God ultimately transformed for good.
Thank you so much for joining us for another month of study, an effort you make possible with your support. All of us at Today in the Word hope and pray that God would use this issue to direct you in His Word and by His Spirit, bringing the “bad boy” in all of us to righteousness through our good and holy Savior!
Ted Turner and Time Warner thought they were getting stronger when they merged with AOL and yielded control to the Internet giant, but at least one of their competitors saw it as a sacrifice of the future of the company. Media mogul Rupert Murdoch said Time Warner “gave away their company for a mess of porridge, and they've got to live with that forever.” Not long after the merger, the dot-com bubble burst, and Murdoch's words proved prophetic.
