Shamgar is the third judge – right after Ehud and right before Deborah – but almost nothing is known about him. Why? Part of the reason is because there’s only two verses total about him in the entire Bible, but it could also be because we fail to appreciate what he did in his own time.

CloseBe honest: God's execution of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 seems a little harsh. For starters, it was "only one sin," and secondly, didn't Peter just have a bigger sin when he denied Jesus three times? Why would someone who was shown so much mercy for that deny someone else the chance to repent? If it seems harsh, that's because it is. That's kind of the point. But I would argue that there's more to the story than just lying = death. A lot more. If only we would take the time to dive in and be honest with the Text.
