"I used to be a school teacher, and now I am a pastor. Both professions involve instructing others. I do not want to sound overly simple, but good teachers provide information people do not already have. If they already knew it, they would not need the instruction! Most letters in the New Testament are instructive. There is the occasional time an epistle will say, “I want to remind you…” but primarily they were written to provide new information. This is why James 1:3 is so unique! In the ESV and NIV it says, “You know that the testing of your faith produces [patience].” James was not teaching something new. He was telling readers what they already understand about trials. They test our faith!"

Shimei completely misjudged David—and let bitterness poison his heart for decades.
When David was at one of the lowest points of his life, Shimei hurled rocks, curses, and false accusations at him.
But when the tables turned, and David was restored, Shimei said, “I have sinned,” not out of repentance, but out of fear.
This message is a needed warning for all of us:
• Bitterness can distort our judgment
• Pain can tempt us to mistreat people
• Fear can produce confessions that lack true repentance
God calls us to something better: genuine repentance rooted in truth, not fear.

Sin doesn’t just break lives—it distorts minds.
King Saul’s story shows how rebellion against God led to confusion, jealousy, and despair. But it also reminds us that true wisdom, peace, and clarity are found only when we walk closely with the Lord.
This message challenges us to examine our hearts and choose the wisdom that comes from obedience rather than the madness that flows from sin.
