Question 2: “Why did they stop following God?”
Answer: “The richest people among them wanted leaders who would help them get more money from their neighbors.”

Question 3: “Is that why 1 Sm 8:4-22 tells us that ‘all the elders of Israel came in a body to Samuel at Ramah’?

Question 4: “That was the end of freedom and faith for their families! What did Samuel do?”

‘Grant the people’s every request.’”

Answer: “They are easily confused! Many will reject God for promises of a little money for themselves.”

Question 8: “If that’s all there is to political activity, what’s the point of life?”
Answer: “In every Age and in every Place, God separates the souls of those who obey His First Commandment from those who who put the their desires ‘before’ Him.'”
