For I would not have known what it was to covet if the law had not said, “Do not covet.” (Romans 7:7). As we saw last Friday, sin can … Continue reading “SIN AND GOD’S LAW”

JAMES 1 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like (James 1:22–23).

1 SAMUEL 28 Saul then said to his attendants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so I may go and inquire of her” (1 Samuel 28:7). When Saul tried to kill David, David fled with some of his loyal men.

2 SAMUEL 5 When all the elders of Israel had come to King David at Hebron, the king made a compact with them at Hebron before the Lord, and they anointed David king over Israel (2 Samuel 5:3).
