"David continues to conquer the land which God had given Israel, completing the work the tribes of Israel were tasked to do in the book of Joshua. Much was left undone in ancient Israel, but David, following the LORD, completed it. David grew up a shepherd of his father’s sheep, yet it was the LORD who used this time to teach and establish him for the future. David had no special training for how to be a successful king. What the LORD placed deep inside David’s heart was to learn the importance of faithfully following and doing His Word. We can see David’s success and remember that we need that training, too, which the LORD has destined us to have. Our success as Christians is dependent on the condition of our hearts. Do we truly serve God? Are we attentive and disciplined to focus our minds and attitudes to make sure we keep God's Word? How we answer these questions determines the truth about our success. Success is not built on how much we earn or have, but who and what we choose to follow.
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways."

"God expected the Israelites to take their covenants seriously. He expected them to be like Him.
