Title: David and Bathsheba (15)
Series: Crowned and Grounded
Author: Brian Mills
Text: 2 Samuel 11
Today we are going to jump back into the life of David.
2 Samuel 11.
A very familiar passage on David and Bathsheba.
The chapter that reminds me of his Harp playing, a man after God's own heart warrior is human after all.
By no means do I say that to downplay what David and Bathsheba do here but let's be reminded of I Cor 10:12 [NIV] So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful you don't fall!
Sure, David was a Godly man but he had his flaws...
We have already seen some of them...
One HUGE flaw was he disobeyed Deut. 17 in not having many wives.
We know he had at least 7 wives
10+ concubines.
Hebrews 12:1 [NIV] Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
David had a temptation that easily got him
Lustful temptation was his downfall. A real challenge for him
Same today for almost all of you...
-Over 200 million people visit pornographic websites each day globally

-Couples who lived together before engagement have a 34% divorce rate, compared to 23% for those who cohabited only after engagement or marriage.
-+50% of all divorces are due to infidelity? 60% due to Porn

-It destroys purpose.
That is ...
