Good evening once again -

Today, we read the grandaddy of all the Old Testament Sunday School stories: David and Goliath. This is such a familiar tale that I don't see much need for commentary. If there was anything new to pick up, the reader certainly spotted it without my help. It's such a good, clean plot of good vs. evil.
In chapter 18 we read of how Saul becomes increasingly jealous of David. However, every attempt to thwart David turns to his advantage. I do find verse 10 interesting as it reflects 16:14. "An evil spirit from the Lord." This may be one for the theology forum...

In 2Corinthians Paul "lightens up" quite a bit and praises the church at Corinth for the wise way in which they handled his previous letter. They accepted his rebuke and repented of their errant ways. Paul makes no secret that he is quite proud of their behavior.

I'll refrain from commenting on Mark because this always seems to get Helen to post in here.

May God bless you
