There is no protection for rebels.

David makes a big mistake but the Lord overules with great lessons on how we ought to process all our lives in a spiritual way.

What are we to teach in our ministries-

We are at war with God. We desparately need peace. Only the Lord Jesus Christ can give it to us.

In big trouble David seeks the Lord's guidence and help. Even if The Lord's will seems clear to otyhers, still he is scrupulous.

All to please our Saviour. And only by being pleasing will He use us.

The only sort of commitment that really saves.

Even a great believer like David can get so low. The value of believing friends. Trusting even in the worst circumstances.

The NT Hymn on loyalty and disloyaly.

The marriage invitation provides a perfect example of many simple misconceptions of God and how the scriptures disarm them. What must qualify every person who enters Heaven.
