Truth in love

January 14, 2018

The story of Samuel may be familiar to many:  As a boy, God calls Samuel.  Three times, in fact!  Each time, Samuel thinks it is the voice of his mastor/mentor, Eli.  Finally Eli tells Samuel that it is the voice of the Lord, who is calling him.   This part of the story is well-known and loved.

​But what was Samuel told to say?  Now begins the adult part of the story, of speaking the truth in love.  (Found in 1 Samuel 3).
