The 30th century of His-Story begins with the rather strange scene of a tall and robust young man hiding among the baggage of his family and the people who had come to crown him king. His name was Saul. God had sent Samuel some days earlier to anoint him king privately, and now it was […]
Is not the arrow beyond thee?” There it was, David’s answer. It was the answer that would forever physically separate him from his closest friend, Jonathan. David and Jonathan were more than just close friends. Their friendship was a covenantal friendship—a friendship forged by (and with) the Lord. They were friends who spiritually sharpened each […]
There is a slogan which a certain company has promoted and which accurately reflects the spirit of the age and the lifestyle of the worldly youths today. “Just do it.” It is a simple phrase, yet packed with much meaning. This phrase could rightly be called the creed of the worldly youth because in it […]
The Word of God is the means placed before us to nourish our faith. The story of David and Abigail is a good example of the incredibly rich nourishment to be had through faith. When a believer digs in—really studies the Word of God—Jehovah-jireh (Provider) continually opens up that wealth of riches. Centrally, when it […]

I like very much the theme you Loveland Young People have chosen for this year’s convention, ‘Lessons from the Life of David.’’ I like your theme because it gives me the opportunity to bring to you the Word of God and to bring it from the life of one of God’s saints. There are few […]
This is a rather sober lesson in the life of David. We see David, that great man of God, staggering under the heavy hand of God’s chastisement because of his own sin. Yet we see in David the grace of God in Christ Jesus. The beauty of grace is humility and submission to God’s way. […]
It was with a great deal of appreciation that I received Loveland’s invitation to address our young people, to return again to Estes Park after fifteen years, this time not as a conventioneer but as a speaker. From the topic assigned – ‘David and Bathsheba’ – it is evident what the Host Society intended that […]
“And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.” I Samuel 18:1 The birds on the Judean plain still sang. The locusts whirred their dusty serenade. The soft evening […]
