David Cameron

hidden, he was mentored and tutored by a priest Jehoiada, his aunt’s husband. No one knew about him except a few people. He was protected and guarded during a time when evil was warring against good. Joash had a destiny on his life. He was an heir to David and was considered royalty. Not everyone is chosen for royalty. To lead and/or become King has to be an appointment and anointing from God. “The Lord your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people,…

DAVID?S BIG LIFE AND THE BIG LESSONS IT OFFERS BELIEVERS To describe David as a legendary figure is an appropriate nod to the impact his life has had on multiplied millions. But the story of his life is not a legend, it is a fact and its scope is extraordinary. When you travel with David through the journey that was his life you are in for a wild ride filled with unbelievable highs and devastating lows. I can?t think of any Biblical biography ? a biography contained with Scripture ? that gives…

A prophet is a person regarded as an inspired teacher, or proclaimer of the will of G-d. “The English word “prophet” comes from Greek and literally means “spokesperson.” This further provides meaning since the prophets were “messengers of G-d”. In Hebrew the name עמוס (Amos) means laden, burdened, carried, and brave. In the Old Testament, a person named “Amos” besides the prophet is never mentioned. Out of all of the prophets, “Amos is the first of the “writing prophets,” that is prophets whose…

Saul reigned over Israel for forty-two years. Saul chose three thousand men from Israel; two thousand were with him at Micmash and Bethel and a thousand were with Jonathan at Gibeah in Benjamin. Jonathan attacked the Philistine camp at Geba and the Philistines heard about it. Saul blew through a trumpet and all of Israel heard that Saul attacked the camp and Israel had become unpleasant to the Philistines. The Philistines were ready to fight Israel with 3,000 chariots, 6,000 charioteers, and…

Religious spaces, characterized by Thomas Tweed, are “differentiated”, “kinetic” and “interrelated”. As a sacred city with spiritual significance in three religions, Jerusalem is depicted thoroughly and illustrated in the Hebrew Bible as one of the spaces Tweed defined. The biblical portrayal of Jerusalem emphasizes that the land was chosen by God and honored by Israelites, which differentiates it as a special, singular space; the description of Solomon’s Temple shows that Jerusalem is…

Pride is one of the few words in the English language that everybody can identify with. Pride is actually a good thing to have because if a person has pride in what he does it makes him do it better. If a person is working a job and has pride in what he does, he tends to put forth his best effort and try to become the best employee he can. Pride is a thing that can cause people to feel a sense of satisfaction even if they fail. As long as they give their best, they are satisfied. But as the…

Where do you think you can look but up, when you are standing knee deep in the gutter of life? We are all aware of some of terrible sins King David committed. King David was a man after God’s own heart. but even with David’s close relationship with God he committed some very terrible sins. But just like King David we have access to forgiveness and mercy. King David knew where and who was his only source of forgiveness and mercy. Psalm 121:2 2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven…

David and Goliath Growing up in rural Minnesota has had it’s disadvantages. But it has also had it’s advantages. Just like what Malcolm Gladwell highlights in his book “David and Goliath: misfits and the art of battling Giants.” Having a childhood in rural Minnesota was not always as wondrous as the magazines make it out to be. There is a lack of communication, a lack of connection and the nearest convenience store is 10 miles away. This made it hard to connect with people who lived in Urban…

The Tel Dan Stele was discovered in Northern Israel. It was found in three different fragments in 1993 and 1994. The pieces were found by Avraham Biran. The pieces were found apart because they were being used as building stones rather than their original purpose. The inscription is in Aramaic. It was most likely written in the late ninth century BCE and then used for its secondary purpose as building materials. The text is a description of an Aramaic King’s victories. These triumphs are…

look at, is the condition of each of these men's heart. David was know as a man after Gods own heart, Saul's heart was tethered to the things of the world. The difference of the two, is not the magnitude of one of their sins compared to the other. Saul had his problems with his pride and ego, wanting the things of the world, most of his sins had to do with the ways of the world, serving false gods and pleasing the flesh. On the other hand David had plenty of his own faults, his adultery with…
