What a beautiful message for the switch the date such a beautiful beautiful message about David it’s I haven’t I don’t have the words to say how happy I am to urologist
Pastor Skip makes a good point on how ill people with Faith tend to approach their demise with more _______________(fill in Your own positive word). My own Father had a rough end after suffering cancer for some time. The physical discomfort was real but there wasn't spiritual anguish. He discussed having a vision of the Almighty cradling him (he described it as Light from a figure in something like a Robe) and even approached the End as if it was something of an exciting amusement park ride.
Shamgar.... The Philistines often confiscated the metal implements for farming and any arms to fight with.... The Lord God can use the little you have to overcome the enemy when given over to the Lord God.... The victory belongs to the Lord God
Thanks Pastor Skip. I was thinking about the non-believer - a person who considers himself or herself a "good" person - a "nice" person who has always been friendly to people, never committed a serious crime, maybe even somebody who has donated lots of money to charity. They may have been a doctor, or nurse, or somebody else who has helped many people in their life. Yet their great sin is this - they render the suffering and sacrifice and death of Christ on the cross as worthless. And God's great work of redemption and gift of eternal life is rendered worthless. And their rejection renders God Himself as worthless. That is their great sin!!! There are millions of "good" people who will nevertheless find themselves in hell if they persist in their rejection. Some of them are in my own family. Jesus said, "if you do not believe that I am He, you will indeed die in your sin" John 8:24. I pray for all the "good" people to realize that they too are sinners in need of the Savior Jesus Christ and the only way to God is through His blood. "Just as I am without one plea, but that Thy blood was shed for me."
May I ask which bible Skip is using? I am following along with the NIV quest bible and there is a big difference in 23:5. Plus, it would be easier and flow better for my bible study to use the same he has chosen to use. Ty
It could be simply that because NIV is thought-for-thought rather than word-for-word (with correction for syntax, obviously) that the translators went a slightly different direction. If you look at other word-for-word translations like Holman Christian Standard, English Standard, and Amplified, they are quite similar to the NKJV thst Skip is using. I also looked at New Living which is also similar to the NKJV, but quite simplified in its rendering as well. It couldhave some thing to do with which manuscript was used for translation, whether the Septuagint or the Masoretic text; I do not, however, remember which translations used which manuscript and this would be moot if they all used the same one.
@@trumpetmom8924 the verse I am referring to is 2 Samuel 23:5. The NKJV is quite different than NIV. The NKV says,“ Although my house is not so with God, Yet He has made with me an everlasting covenant”. This phrasing shows an acknowledgment that they had fallen short, but God is a loving and forgiving Father. The NIV says, “ “If my house were not right with God, surely he would not have made with me an everlasting covenant,”. Which sounds like they think they have done all that is right. The two tones sound to me totally different and drew my attention.
Thank you ❤. May God always bless Calvary Church
Skip is such an amazing person. I’d love to hear more stories about his life I love hearing them. You’ve lived such a inspiring life
Love the description in this chapter before the final chapter; Thank you Pastor Skip.

FYI, I believe he is using the NKJ version. Gonna research why such a different tone between them on this verse.. very interesting.
