Deuteronomy 17-18; Job 12; Acts 3:
"If a man or woman among you in one of your towns that the Lord your God will give you is discovered doing evil in the sight of the Lord your God and violating His covenant and has gone to worship other gods by bowing down to the sun, moon, or all the stars in the sky -- which I have forbidden -- and if you are told or hear about it, you must investigate it thoroughly.

Morning
“Wilt Thou not revive us again.”
Psalms 80
During the bitter tribulations which followed upon the various idolatrous backslidings of Israel, we can imagine the feelings of godly men in the nation as being very similar to those expressed in Psalms 80.

Words to Ponder
No one is saved against his will. If we were saved against our will, going to heaven would be terrible, because heaven would be prison for us and we could not enjoy it. God makes His people willing. He makes them freely and voluntarily go in His ways. He causes them to have sorrow for sin, to weep because of their guilt, and He melts their heart under a sense of His love. He sweetly and at the same time powerfully, bends over their will, so that sinners say with Jeremiah: 'Lord, Thou art stronger than I, and Thou hast prevailed.' That is regeneration; that is conversion. What joy is experienced when the will has been bent over! Now the things which used to be a burden become a delight. The things which you hated to do, you now love to do. The heart goes out to the Lord and to His service. Such people can hardly wait for Sunday to come, because they want to be in God's house to hear His Word and meet with His people. God has a willing people who have experienced the work of the Holy Spirit. Is your religion like that? Is it a voluntary religion? God's people are really 'free willers.' They are the only ones who really have a free will. They love to do the will of the Lord. - Cornelis Pronk (20th century)

Patriarch Tikhon raises Vladimir Nikolsky to the rank of archbishop of Perm where he takes the name Andronicus. The following year Andronicus will be shot and buried alive (one account will say drowned) by Soviets irate that he stands for the old regime against their atheism and resists their looting of Russian Orthodox churches.
