GIDEON'S ARMY Chris discusses story of Gideon from the book of Judges, comparing the situation of the children of Israel with America today. The people of God had rebelled against Him by worshiping other gods. The Lord sent Gideon to destroy the altar of Baal first, and then sent him to defeat Israel's enemies. The lesson seems to be that we cannot expect victory over our enemies unless we are willing to destroy the idols that keep us from being faithful to God.
