"Death And The Dance: David, Uzzah, And The Ark”

Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jul 7, 2002

God is holy, and not to be trifled with. We wisely enter His presence with the awareness that He is a consuming fire.

“Death and the Dance: David, Uzzah, and the Ark”, II Samuel 6 This chapter qualifies as one of the difficult passages of Scripture. We are taken aback at the harsh action of God, in what we might regard as a merciless act of justice. On the surface, we see Uzzah doing what appears as a ...read more

But when the family’s pastor came to the hospital room, one of the daughters whispered to him, "I just can’t seem to get ...read more

Contributed by Jeffrey Cox on Feb 28, 2005

Some men try deliberately to deceive and fool you, but this is rare. Usually it is just a church taking hold of one particular belief, not knowing it is ungodly. It is the leadership’s job to keep watch for this. Ez 33:6.
