A Healthy Fear (3 of 4)
Knowing the Will of God Series
Jerry Branch
Psalm 25:10-14

Television advertising by itself constantly throws hundreds of options out there in front of us, and a lot of them look pretty good. Madison Avenue is earning her money.
We see new cars that say buy me; new clothes that say wear me; foods that say eat me; banks that say give me your money, and so on. Political parties who call us on the phone saying vote for our candidates, we'll take better care of you than the guys did who are now in office.
Hundreds of different charities, even some Christian ones, call us throughout the day and evening, and try to get us to support them, or do service work.

These past weeks, we've been working through the 25th Chapter of the book of Psalm. We've seen through the example of God's servant David, a man after God's own heart, as he was called, we've seen that just like David, we wh ...
