Thank you for this gem. I needed it as a wife, mom, and grandma, as well as a ministry leader.

Some of the major people in the Bible did terrible things and often these are used as examples of God's mercy and use of "flawed" people. But I do not see the sermons draw out to the natural and spiritual conclusions. David, a rapist and a murderer, is held up as "a man after God's own heart" to justify ungodly pastors and presidents. Yet, the destruction was brutal in his family-also rapists and murderers, for generation and Israel as well. It also ignores the many places in Scripture that we are called to "righteous paths". Psalm 1 is a good example. The "path" matters greatly-not just the destination.

Thank you for this wisdom.
