King David had secretly committed adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah and later plotted the murder of her husband. After the death of Uriah, David took Bathsheba to be his wife. Although the king tried to cover his sin from men, he could not hide it from God. When the Lord sent Prophet Nathan to David and uncovered his secret sin, he promptly repented in humility, saying: "I have sinned against the LORD".

Whenever a branch is trimmed off a live tree it usually withers because it is no longer connected to its source of nutrients. The branch is never meant to be independent of the tree. Branches are expected to bear fruits, but they cannot perform this function if they are separated from the tree. In order words, without the tree, the branches cannot bear fruits.

Leaven or yeast makes dough rise. A little of it as compared to the quantity of flour, is required to transform a dense mass of dough into a well-risen loaf of bread. In like manner a little leaven of sin in the life of a single believer has the capacity to corrupt an entire congregation. Defilement of any kind should never be condoned in the Church of God. Beloved, the extent of the problem of little sin must never be underestimated. Little sin breeds big corruption.

Worldly pleasure is a fleeting experience and those that partake of it shall soon find themselves in the chambers of death. There is no profit for any man that seeks to enjoy life in this world to the detriment of his own soul. Those given to sinful pleasure are dead while they live: their love for pleasure is more than their love for God. Life in this world, no matter how sweet, is only for a brief moment.

The imagination of sinners is always vain and against God. Although, the Lord wanted them to multiply and fill the whole earth, the men of Babel imagined to build a city and a tower that will reach unto heaven. By their rebellious imagination, they wanted to dwell together in Babel that they may not be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. Because their minds were not renewed, their deeds were evil, unacceptable and against the perfect will of God.
