R Then we heard of the contrast between the boy Samuel serving the Lord, while Eli's sons were scoundrels. Finally a \u201cman of God\u201d (a prophet or perhaps even an angel) gave a long prophetic warning to Eli. Today we will see that prophecy come true. PSALM 92:This is another favorite psalm of praise! ROMANS 2:Yesterday we heard the first part of some bad news which makes the Good News \u2018good\u2019. This reminds me of the movie Second Hand Lions. In the movie a main character has a lecture on \u2018how to be a man\u2019 that he frequently has given in his career. It starts out, \u201cUnderstand this: All people are basically good.\u201d However in the movie, all we see in that character's past life and in the current way he lives is that mankind can't be trusted and you gotta\u2019 build high fences around your property, and have your gun and fists ready. According to Scripture and what we will read in Romans, mankind hasn't been \u2018basically good\u2019 since the Garden of Eden. NLT Translation notes:Rom. 2:9 There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil\u2014[especially for the Jews, but also for the non-Jews\/\/for the Jew first and also for the Gentile].10 But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good\u2014[especially for the Jews, but also for the non-Jews\/\/for the Jew first and also for the Gentile].12 When the [non-Jews\/\/Gentiles] sin, they will be destroyed, even though they never had God\u2019s written law. And the Jews, who do have God\u2019s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey it.14 Even [non-Jews\/\/Gentiles], who do not have God\u2019s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it.   Unless otherwise indicated, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright \u00a9 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.
