David and his men were hiding from King Saul in a cave. King Saul entered the cave alone, and David's men urged him to kill the king while he had the chance. However, David refused because Saul was God's anointed king. Instead, David quietly crept up and cut off a piece of Saul's robe as proof before revealing himself to Saul. When David showed Saul the piece of robe and explained he could have killed him but chose not to, Saul acknowledged David would one day be king and asked him to spare his family. God was pleased with how David treated Saul.

What do lions do when they take over a pride? They often kill the cubs of the former lion king. Similarly, in the ancient Near East, new kings would often kill off any potential rivals from the former king's family. Going against cultural norms, however, King David demonstrates his lovingkindness by having King Saul's grandson eat at his table like a son...

This was a sermon I preached last April 9, 2017 at CWC (Christ's Way Community) Eastwood City. This is based on 1 Samuel 18-21, the period of David's life when his life was being threatened to be taken away by King Saul.
This message helps identify usual "crutches" that believers lean on when experiencing pains and disappointments. Three warning against "crutches" are also given.
"The good news is Jesus wants to deepen His communion with us through sharing in our pain, losses and suffering."
I Samuel 17, 18 describe David's confrontation with Goliath and its aftermath. What can we learn from his example when we feel stuck in the face of the "impossible"?
Wisdom Personified: Abigail, Nabal and David (1 Samuel 25 Sunday School Lesson)Danny Scotton, Jr.
This account of the foolish and evil Nabal and the beautiful Abigail who has good understanding is sandwiched between two episodes (1 Sam 24, 26) in which David spares King Saul's life. The placement is purposeful. Given the number of parallels between Nabal and Saul, the author(s) are likely engaging in "narrative analogy" -- making a point without explicitly stating it...

Saul and jonatha n seth g february 10 2019Pacific Church
Although David has become a national hero and saved King Saul and his kingship, "life" goes in the tank for David. Popularity may look very appealing, but it can often come at a horrific cost. David would have to flee for his life and become a fugitive. How would he respond to all the calamity that befalls him?
Wiersbe, “One of the major themes of 2 Samuel is restoration – the restoration of national unity, the restoration of David after he sinned, and the restoration of the throne after Absalom’s rebellion. Intertwined with this theme is the emphasis on power, showing how God empowered David and his people to accomplish His will.
Saul tore things apart, but God used David to start putting things back together again.”

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

David. “King Saul is coming with
thousands of soldiers!” (See 1 Samuel 24:2.)
No longer a boy, David and his 600 men quickly climbed
up to a big cave where they could hide. The cave was very dark
and still. David and his men crouched behind big boulders. They
barely breathed.
David and his men had been running away from King Saul and
his soldiers for months. King Saul had made it known he wanted to
hurt David. Why? Because King Saul was jealous of David’s victo-

to King Saul. King Saul didn’t like that at all!
Suddenly a man walked into the cave. A very tall, big man. Saul! The king turned and
faced the entrance of the cave. He squatted down and pushed his robe out behind him.
“Look!” one of the hiding men whispered into David’s ear. “God is giving you a chance to
do whatever you want to King Saul.”
“I cannot,” David replied. “God has made him king. I cannot harm him.”
Then David took his sharp knife out of his belt. He crept slowly and noiselessly toward
King Saul, then reached out and cut off a piece of the king’s robe.
David crept soundlessly back to his men. But he began to feel bad about cutting the
king’s robe.
When Saul stood up and left the cave, David followed him. “King Saul!” he shouted.
Saul turned around quickly and saw David standing at the entrance of the cave.
“My men and I could have killed you,” David said. “But I will never hurt you because
you were chosen by God.
“Look!” David shouted as he held up the piece of
material he had cut from the king’s robe. “This proves
that I could have hurt you.”
“Is that really you, David?” Saul called back.
“You are a better man than I am,” he said
with tears running down his face. “You have
been merciful. I know that you will surely
be the king of Israel after me. Just promise
me that you will not hurt my family.”
So King Saul and his 3,000 soldiers
began the long trip back home.
God was happy with the way David
treated Saul that day.
