Facing Change:
A Lesson from I Kings 13
by John O. Reid

The little-known story of God's prophet in I Kings 13 offers Christians valuable lessons for times of deceit and confusion. While God's commands to the prophet are clear and straightforward, the prophet fails to obey them carefully and completely. He lets himself be persuaded by a false prophet's outright lies, which he failed to evaluate thoroughly. John Reid provides three lessons from this story to aid us as we face the deceptions of the end time.
