The LIGHThouse Guardian
July 2, 2025
When the king heard the words of the Book of the Law, he tore his clothes. And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the secretary, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying, "Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found. For great is the wrath of the Lord that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.. — 2 Kings 22:11-13
TRAIN YOURSELF IN GODLINESS: Bible Study
Our starting point for the summer: How might we train ourselves for godliness?
1) Quiet Time
2) Prayer
3) BIBLE STUDY
King Josiah is famous for several reasons: He was EIGHT years old when he began to reign, repaired the temple, found and read from the Book of the Law, cast down idols, and restored celebration of the Passover. As a result, Israel prospered for a time... until King Josiah was killed in battle and the next king did what was evil in the sight of the Lord.
What draws you to God? How do you get to know the God you follow?
What can you of to make God's Word more central to your daily life?

A Gift Card or Memory Verse...
Have nothing to do with irreverent, silly myths. Rather train yourself in godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.—1 Timothy 4:7-8
Pastor Tim has issued a challenge: play a game of chess against him. You'd be surprised how many students have risen to the challenge! Beat him and receive a $20.00 gift card to the restaurant of your choice. Lose... and commit to memorizing 1 Timothy 4:7-8 (Really, it's a win-win).
