2 Samuel 8:15
“And David reigned over all Israel; and David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.”

Every person, leader and organization need to have core values. Core values are the guiding principles which decide what you do and don’t do. These core values define who you are so that others know how you conduct yourself and how you conduct business. A person, leader or organization without core values will fall to every whim of people and to every passion that a situation dictates. Without core values, you are bound to destroy yourself, those you lead, and the organization you run.

2 Samuel 16:10
“And the king said, What have I to do with you, ye sons of Zeruiah? so let him curse, because the LORD hath said unto him, Curse David. Who shall then say, Wherefore hast thou done so?”

One of the men in David’s life that I detest is Shimei. Shimei was a man who never got over his past, and he turned into a bitter man because of this. His bitterness turned to hatred, and it caused him to never accept the will of God for Israel.

1 Kings 2:33
“Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab, and upon the head of his seed for ever: but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.”

Solomon made a dangerous mistake that many second generation Christians and ministry leaders make. He said in the verse above, “…but upon David, and upon his seed, and upon his house, and upon his throne, shall there be peace for ever from the LORD.” There is almost a sense of disdain for battles in this statement.

1 Kings 8:11
“So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.”

An amazing thing happened when Solomon dedicated the temple to God. Solomon had the priest bring the ark of God into the holy place. When the priests came out of the most holy place, the Scriptures say that “the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.” There was such a presence of God that the priests could not stand to minister. In other words, they had fallen prostrate on their faces because of God’s presence.

A Sure Way to Promotion

1 Kings 11:28
“And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of valour: and Solomon seeing the young man that he was industrious, he made him ruler over all the charge of the house of Joseph.”

One of the most lacking things in this present generation are industrious people. I was recently talking to a person who is successful in the business world, and they said that one of the hardest things to find anymore are dependable, hard-working people to employ. They told me that any industrious person they hire moves up the chain of authority quickly because it is so hard to find people who are hard-working.

He [Trump] won’t leave on his own. Mass action everywhere is what’s needed.” — Michael Moore, on Instagram

We just had a “mass action” known as an election. You know, those things your Party can’t win anymore.

The Limbaugh Letter.  June 2017

Academic “experts” continue their efforts to make students unemployable. Exhibit A: Clemson University [SC]’s latest adventure in “the soft bigotry of low expectations” — promoting the idea that “it’s wrong, and probably colonialist, to expect people to show up to a meeting on time,”
