Sometimes when Christians see a successful, charismatic figure they may hope for that person’s salvation. The thinking is, is that because of that person’s popularity that their coming to a saving knowledge of Christ will “show” the world that Christianity can be “cool”, too. This ignores Jesus’ warning to His disciples that the world would hate them. Pastor Mark will be teaching that David’s popularity would be fleeting, too. At one point he will become an enemy of the state with a price on his head. He kept on being faithful to God, though, and God honored this and blessed him at the right time.
