There is nothing wrong with seeking agreement and unity of the body, but never at the risk of disobeying God. Finally, pride always comes before a fall. Saul couldn't bring himself to repent and deal with his disobedience. How can we truly worship God when we are unclean before Him. We must take the holiness of the Lord seriously.
Sin is never a simple matter, it spreads and corrupts everything it touches.
When we fall we must earnestly seek the Lord's forgiveness and restoration first, before we seek the honor of men. Occasionally, the Lord will try us and test us before sending us into battle. Obviously He knows what we are going to do, but we don't. We must be obedient to the urging of the Spirit of God and the lessons of the past to possess the kingdom. All Rights Reserved.
