1 Tim. 4:12b- Be an example to all believers in what you teach, in the way you live, in your love, your faith, and your purity. Vs. 15- Give your complete attention to these matters.

Jesus satisfies me. Logically. Emotionally. Spiritually. I’ve never found a better belief system;

I’ve never found a better friend.

David- not where he was supposed to be… or with Godly men.

2 Sam. 11 David is in the wrong place- lusting beginsLusting leads to sin- adultery. David deceives Joab and Uriah… trying th cover his sin… David get Uriah drunk. But even then he couldn’t get Uriah to go home to his wife.David orders Uriah’s death… in battle.

We all believe we will be the exception…Jas 1:15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when itis finished, bringeth forth death. (KJV)

In the center of Holiness…Or on the edge of sin…

Normal Life =========================================

Reaching new lows

Christ is the Rock at rock bottom- your call

Normal Life =========================================

James 1:5-8 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

UNSTABLE LIFE

Normal Life =========================================

Encountering Christ- His purpose

Rom 4:7 "Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight.

So the next morning David wrote a letter to Joab and gave it to Uriah to deliver. The letter instructed Joab, "Station Uriah on the front lines where the battle is fiercest. Then pull back so that he will be killed." So Joab assigned Uriah to a spot close to the city wall where he knew the enemy’s strongest men were fighting.

David’s Life- BIG PICTURE…David’s Life: Training- Youth. Triumph: 17 yrs as King- never lost a battle- Grows Kingdom

Satan’s 30 yr. Plan:Plan “A”- polygamy leads to growing lust- Started in his 20s Plan “B”- Enjoy Success. 30- King= power, women- haremPlan “C”- Let the Battle look easy- David go. At about 50- Plan “D”- Encourage Bathsheba to be IGNORANT or EVIL Plan “E”- stimulate David’s polygamist lust into actionPlan “F”- Let David’s pride-fear take over- hide sinPlan “G”- David’s scheme- deceive Uriah/everyone Plan “H”- 1ST degree murder= abandon your friend to death

from now on… TROUBLE
