Inside the House of David - Bill Hawkins - Bog

We often hear that David was a man after God's own heart. However, how can that be when David ordered a man loyal to him killed to cover up his crime of seducing the man's wife? Was lust the root cause of David's great sin? In Mr. Hawkins' commentary on II Samuel, we see that David's sin originated in his heart long before he stood on his roof and peered down at the bathing Bathsheba. We discover the role that David's house played in his sin, and how sin can originate in our hearts until we miss each warning God gives us along the way. David's great sin was not sudden and accidental, it had been growing in him over time until his ability to justify his sin was greater than his love for God. Yet, God loved David in his imperfections, and our love for God will grow as he reveals himself to us in the book of II Samuel.
