The Way Home
Dr. Adrian Rogers
2 Samuel 11:1-15
Would you take God's word tonight and turn with me please to Second Samuel chapter 11. We're going to read in a moment the story of David and Bathsheba. The title of our message tonight, The Way Home. The subject of the message tonight is the folly, the danger, the tragedy, the heartbreak of backsliding.
Now, this is a camp meeting. It is not an evangelist crusade. I hope that people will be saved, and I want them to be saved.

And though we're here tonight to have a good time, and folks we've had one, it's been wonderful, but we're here also to think seriously and in keeping with the urgency and emergency of the time in which we live. And I want to say that God has set before this church a great and awesome challenge, and it is absolutely imperative that I be clean and pure. It is absolutely imperative that our staff be clean and pure. It is absolutely imperative that our deacons be clean and pure, that our teachers be right with God. And God help us that our people, every one of us, shall be a clean people, a pure people, fit vessels for God to use. And so I want you to think with me tonight about the danger of backsliding in this message I'm going to call The Way Home.
And I'm reading beginning in verse 1. ''And it came to pass after the year was expired and the time when kings go forth to battle, that David sent Joab, and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon, and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried still at Jerusalem.''
Notice the little word but. That is, there's an inclination that he's doing something he ought not to do. ''But David tarried still at Jerusalem. And it came to pass in an eveningtide, that David arose from off his bed, a ...
