My 2025 Theme Verses: Ezra 7:10 (ESV) For Ezra had set his heart to study the Law of the LORD, and to do it and to teach his statutes and rules in Israel. Daniel 1:8 (ESV) But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.

The reason the Saturday night party destroys Sunday morning worship! Numbers 25-28
It is easier to seduce than to strike. Seduction is trickery than confrontation. In 25:1-9 we see that the Moabites finally got the best of the Israelites using the seduction method. The King of the Moabites had asked Balaam the Prophet to curse the Israelites, but God would not allow it. Instead, Balaam gave the Moabites the idea to through a party and invites the Israelites. Parties always work to deceive the beloved. How many believers fail to show up Sunday morning because of the party they attended Saturday night? The reason Saturday night has been so evil is the way it keeps the pews empty from hearing God's Word on Sunday morning. In this case the Moabites were successful to get them to attend party after party. So much so that the Israelites began to intermarry with the party goers. God invented fellowship. God designed the aspect of enjoyment. So, the party is not the issue. But, in this case they began to worship the god of the Moabites. The problem with the party mindset is that clouds the mind and causes us to make poor decisions. Don't let the world suck you into their party. It isn't the party that is the problem ... its the poor decisions that come with it.
