    What characterizes a heart that is fully given to God?

    In 1 Samuel 8, we are told how the people of Israel asked for a king to lead them.

    This is particularly pertinent in my own country at this time, with the announcement of the end of our Queen’s 70 year reign: ‘The Queen is dead. Long live the King.’

    DOXOLOGY. 1 Timothy 1:17. It is no wonder that Paul’s encouraging testimony (1 Timothy 1:12-17) ends with a word of doxology. 1. “Now unto the King eternal” (literally, “Now unto the King of the ages”) is addressed to the LORD God. Now, “the King eternal” is none other than the LORD God ...read more

    Saul did it his way because he was filled with pride, was controlled by impulse, and driven by rebellion.

    Patrick O’Boyle tells about an incident in Hyde Park, a large public park in London, England, famous for its soapbox orators. He recalls one particular day, back in the 1940’s, when Frank Sheed, a Christian author and publisher was addressing the crowd in the “Speakers’ Corner.” He writes: “Sheed ...read more

    King Saul’s depression, caused by disobedience to God, was relieved as he came to terms with himself and asked David to play his harp - a parable of what Jesus can do for us.

    A century ago when biographies of Christian men were written it was the accepted policy not to probe too deeply into their lives.

    It wasn’t enough that Saul had Go’s Spirit within him. He also needed to respond to the Spirit’s prompting with obedience. We need to listen to God’s voice and respond as he would have us respond. "Surely, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed tha
