“O, what a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive!” – (Walter Scott)
FLATTERY WILL TAKE YOU NOWHERE
“Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing.”
― Criss Jami, Killosophy
ABSALOM’S TEST AND REBELLION
“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessings and cursings; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live.” – (Deuteronomy 30:19)
DAVID’S MERCY TOWARD ABSALOM
I would say to my soul, O my soul, this is not the place of despair; this is not the time to despair in. As long as mine eyes can find a promise in the Bible, as long as there is a moment left me of breath or life in this world, so long will I wait or look for mercy, so long will I fight against unbelief and despair. – (John Bunyan)
GOD DEVISES A MEANS
For we will surely die and become like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a life; but He devises means, so that His banished ones are not expelled from Him. – (2 Samuel 14:14)
