Discussion: the RIDDLE of David.
In Old Testament times, the Hebrews had different names, for the SAME GOD. One of his names, as I recall: His Love Endures, or something like that …
- I had another topic for this week – but this morning it occurred to me, the message was wrong.
- The dumb stuff the dogs do, and yet there is that love
- The dumb stuff people do, the sinning …
- A friend once told me, when I was still an Atheist: you can’t have a strong marriage without Jesus … and like most my irreligious friends, I scoffed … I mocked.
- The message of the LAST LETTER at the beginning of REVELATION

The Lord can handle us ANGRY, SAD, and JOYFUL … and any number of other emotions, but the Lord does demand our obedience and love.
The Lord can handle an angry shout towards the sky …
The Lord has big shoulders.

Love is forgiving.
Love is passionate, with all the pain of the cross.
His Love Endures …
(moment of silence)
Lord’s Prayer
