Summary

"Can we be honest? Few things come more naturally to us than using God." We don't really use the word "reverence" anymore. It sounds so old and severe. But it's really just another word for "respect." Patrick continues our https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/podcast-series/david-in-22-stories/ (David in 22) series with a time when the Israelites showed God great irreverence. One of them died, and David became angry. Find out what the worst irreverence was and what God did to set things right. In this episode, we discuss dating: the Christian way to do it and what happens when you mess up. For more on this topic, listen to https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/patrick-miller/ (Patrick) and https://www.thecrossingchurch.com/staff/keith-simon/ (Keith) give https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/online-dating-advice-for-christians-7-things-to-know/id1477778533?i=1000451162239 (Online Dating Advice for Christians).

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.

0:19.0

When I was a kid I did Boy Scouts. We had to memorize the 12 Boy Scout laws and I could recite these things in less than three seconds during my hey day.

0:28.0

But here's what they are. A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean, and

0:38.0

reverent. That last one's kind of funny, isn't it, reverent? Because today we revel in irreverence.

It doesn't matter if it's Saturday Night Live or the President's Twitter feed.

0:50.0

We love to smash each other's sacred cows to deconstruct our most time-tested

traditions and values. It's often done in a spirit of play because the truth is

few things seem more ridiculous to modern eyes than

1:06.4

reverence.

1:08.0

Reverence for tradition, systems, symbols.

1:11.6

were reverent. Some people in the 1800s might have been very reverent about George Washington

1:23.5

while they irreverently whipped the backs of their slaves.

1:27.5

See, we've never done reverence well.

1:31.7

So when we read a story like 2nd Samuel 6,

1:40.8

But let's hop in.

1:42.0

Verse 2, David and all his men went. Let's hop in. Vose 2.
