Inappropriate Twitter

Proverbs 26:27 is true. What Saul wanted to happen to David (die in battle against the Philistines) happened to Saul. David’s greatness is illustrated in how he deals with the loss of Saul and Jonathan. His sincerity provides us insight “When Responding to Loss.”

Each week, I always watch how God orchestrates events in my life to help me prepare to teach His Word. For example, we received news today that the son-n-law of a friend lost his battle with cancer. I’m thankful to be studying this lesson. What’s happening in your life this week to help you prepare?

Writing about 2 Samuel 1:1-27, Bob Deffinbaugh advises against the pop-psychology adage to “get it all out” by saying everything that is true should not be told. For example, David’s lament regarding Saul wasn't a tell-all of what David knew to be true about Saul.

Ask members to name what they’ve found to be inappropriate at a funeral. An example is illustrated in the story, “Colorado Newspaper Twitters Three-Year Old’s Funeral.”
