Foolish Words, Fierce Anger, And Wise Actions (1 Samuel 25:2-44)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Sep 16, 2024

David showed mercy to Saul, exercising grace and wisdom. However, the foolish words of a man named Nabal drove David to excessive anger. The intervention of Nabal's wife, Abigail, brought calm and reason to a situation that could have ended in tragedy.

The Bible describes David as "a man after God's own heart". His character and actions reflected a genuine desire to obey and love the LORD. As a result, he was chosen by God to be the next king of Israel, replacing the dynasty of Saul, whose rebellious and defiant actions resulted ...read more

The Priority Of Persons Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 9, 2021

The lesson that Jonah needed to learn to bring him to his senses, and the lesson all of us must be conscious of is that persons are ends in them selves and not means. The state and the church exist for the welfare of persons.

"nimrod's Folly"

Contributed by John Huyser on Sep 5, 2023

From Sunday School I remember vividly all sorts of lessons on The Tower of Babel. I think almost all of them missed the mark. The issue is far less the Tower of Babel - in fact the tower is a symptom of humanity wanting to do their own thing without God. Jesus came down to reverse that.

It was a moment of folly, a church in Northwest Iowa prefers to forget. Busting at the seams, they broke ground on a new building in the early eighties. Their sanctuary and parking lot would double in size. Featured too were a large kitchen and fellowship hall and many a classroom and extra ...read more
