In this Podcast:

The first eight minutes of this podcast is a report from our Daughter-in-Law, Melissa Miller, concerning the work of CASA [Court Appointed Special Advocates] of East Tennessee.

In this Bible Study:

• A review of chapters 21-23
• David’s wives
• David at En-gedi
• How reprieves from spiritual battles must be recognized as temporary
• How David refuses an opportunity to stop all the stress by killing Saul
• David’s tender conscience
• How David knew he couldn’t let his men do his dirty work and escape guilt
• How David (and Peter and Paul) teach us to honor and respect godless rulers for the sake of the Lord who instituted them and for the sake of the office
• How some unteachable spiritual leaders abuse the phrase, “Touch not mine anointed.”
• How we need to be sensitive not to attempt to burden spiritual leaders with unnecessary nitpicking criticism
• The deception of emotional, but temporary, remorse
• How betrayers can arise from unexpected sources
• Example from Solzhenitsyn (The Gulag Archipelago) from the reign of Stalin to illustrate the atmosphere in which betrayal becomes common.

Stay in the battle!
