Summary

"It's ironic—to me, at least—that our currency in the United States says, 'In God We Trust.' We all know the truth" Why is faith important? It's fundamental to being a Christian, but do you know why? It's because Christianity is all about having a relationship with God, and you can't have a relationship without trust. Faith is trusting in God. You know it, but do you do it? Our money says, "In God We Trust," but do we? David didn't, and it eventually caused his kingdom to crumble. Discover what David trusted instead of God as https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) continues our series of https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22).

0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.5	I'm Patrick Miller. And I'm Keith Simon. Right now we're working through the story of David's life found in first and second Samuel.
0:18.0	As a teenager I always had a sense of right and wrong, you know like most people.
0:24.0	The problem for me was that I almost always found myself doing the wrong things.
0:30.0	And so I tell myself this lie kind of, I'd say,
0:32.9	well, I know I need to get my act together
0:35.2	and I will get my act together
0:37.0	when I get to college.
0:39.8	And then I got to college.
0:41.2	And I said, I'll get my act together when I get my first job when I get

0:51.5	days ahead of us.

1:07.6	Because our most virtuous days lie ahead
1:11.3	But if you think about it, it's actually kind of a bizarre assumption because no one builds

1:26.8	demanding kids.
1:28.8	Those pressures don't often lead to virtue.
1:32.3	More often, they tend to lead to compromise.
