Confronting the King

Cary Cox, from 2 Samuel 12:1-15. When David sinned, God sent a preacher to boldly confront him for that sin. God does not play around with our sin – He is holy. And God loves his people too much to let us continue in sin! We must respond to God’s confrontations by confessing and repenting of our sin, and receiving his forgiveness. Yet, we also face difficult consequences caused by our sin.

No Pretenders – Joshua Study 8

Cary Cox, Joshua 7. The story of Achan shows us that God is serious about sin among his people. Our sin promises satisfaction, but only deceives us, affects others, and ultimately destroys. There can be no pretenders among God’s people. Christ bore our sin, and satisfies us eternally!
