Uriah, A Man of Integrity – Ken Barnes
Uriah replied, “The Ark and the armies of Israel and Judah are living in tents, and Joab and my master’s men are camping in the open fields. How could I go home to wine and dine and sleep with my wife? I swear that I would never do such a thing.” (2 Samuel 11:11 NLT)
Uriah was a man of integrity, yet I have never heard a sermon preached about him. Our righteous acts on occasions seem to go unnoticed, but the best rewards are those of an eternal nature.
King David committed adultery with Uriah’s wife, Bathsheba. David then had arranged to have Uriah killed in battle to cover up his sin (vs.14-16). Prior to this David devised a plot to bring Uriah back to his wife from battle to mask the identity of the child that David had spawned (vs. 6-10). Due to the fact that the Ark and army of God were camped in the field, he refused to go home and sleep with his wife. Uriah’s reward for his unselfish act was that he lost his life. We live in a fallen world and often the innocent reaps the consequences of other peoples’ wrong choices. If we read this story just from a human perspective, it can appear to be a tragic event. But remember, God never misses one of our righteous acts, and he never, ever forgets.
Doing righteous acts and receiving a blessing is a good thing. Continuing to do good when you are only receiving bad is a great thing. Someone once said, “do right because it is right to do right.” Uriah was a man that did well and I can just imagine the reception he got when he arrived in heaven.

The Gift of Self Esteem
Jim Thomson
Jesus taught us to love our neighbor just like we love ourselves. Often, "love ourselves" is the hardest part of that command. Counselor James Thomson shows us how to embrace The Gift of Self Esteem graciously given by God so that we can truly love ourselves as He wants us to do.

Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity.
An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while they gain great faith at the same time.
