And he came to him and said, “There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor. 2“The rich man had a great many flocks and herds. 3But the poor man had nothing except one little ewe lamb which he bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and his children. It would eat of his bread and drink of his cup and lie in his bosom, and was like a daughter to him. 4Now a traveler came to the rich man, and he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, to prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; rather he took the poor man’s ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.” Then David’s anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, “As the Lord lives, surely the man who has done this deserves to die. 6He must make restitution for the lamb fourfold, because he did this thing and had no compassion.” 5 Nathan then said to David, “You are the man! Thus says the Lord God of Israel, ‘It is I who anointed you king over Israel and it is I who delivered you from the hand of Saul. 8I also gave you your master’s house and your 7 master’s wives into your care, and I gave you the house of Israel and Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added to you many more things like these! 9Why have you despised the word of the Lord by doing evil in His sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon. 10Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.’ 11Thus says the Lord, ‘Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own household; I will even take your wives before your eyes and give them to your companion, and he will lie with your wives in broad daylight. 12Indeed you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, and under the sun.’” 13Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.” And Nathan said to David, “The Lord also has taken away your sin; you shall not die. 14However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die.” JAMES 1:14-15 Each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death. II SAMUEL 16:20-22 Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, “Give your advice. What shall we do?” 21 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; then all Israel will hear that you have made yourself odious to your father. The hands of all who are with you will also be strengthened.” 22So they pitched a tent for Absalom on the roof, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel. PSALM 51:16-17 You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it; You are not pleased with burnt offering. 17The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; a broken and a contrite heart, O God, You will not despise. PROVERBS 7:21-27 With her many persuasions she entices him; with her flattering lips she seduces him. 22Suddenly he follows her as an ox goes to the slaughter, or as one in fetters to the discipline of a fool, 23until an arrow pierces through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, so he does not know that it will cost him his life. 24Now therefore, my sons, listen to me, and pay attention to the words of my mouth. 25Do not let your heart turn aside to her ways, do not stray into her paths. 26For many are the victims she has cast down, and numerous are all her slain. 27Her house is the way to Sheol, descending to the chambers of death. PSALM 32:1-5 How blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered! 2 How blessed is the man to whom the Lord does not impute iniquity. 3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; my vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. 5I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord”; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. PSALM 51:2-5 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin. 3For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge. 5Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me. PSALM 51:12a Restore to me the joy of Your salvation. II CORINTHIANS 7:10 The sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. ANNOUNCEMENTS WEEKLY MINISTRIES YOUTH GROUP TONIGHT | 6:15 p.m. MORLEYS’ HOUSE We’ll be meeting at the Morleys’ house for a Super Bowl Party.
