God, Movies, and Me

August 7, 2022   

See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! …  1 John 3:1 NIV

Battle Plan - Warrior

In the spring, at the time when kings go off to war, David sent Joab out with the king’s men and the whole Israelite army. They destroyed the Ammonites and besieged Rabbah. But David remained in Jerusalem.

One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof, he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Ur

CELEBRATING WOMEN OF VALOR

Proverbs 31

 The sayings of King Lemuel contain this message, which his mother taught him.

O my son, O son of my womb, O son of my vows, do not waste your strength on women, on those who ruin kings.  It is not for kings, O Lemuel, to guzzle wine.  Rulers should not crave alcohol.  For if they drink, they may forget the law and not give justice to the oppressed.  Alcohol is for the dying, and wine for those in bitter distress.
