David represents an adolescent king, even though he was 30 when he took the throne and reigned for 40 years. He never wanted to grow up. He never let God perfect and mature his character as a man and he never accepted responsibility for his actions or the actions of those under his leadership.

Growing up is not always an easy thing to do, especially if we do not have godly influences surrounding us. It is all too easy to succumb to the world around us and to be conformed in its image.

The Word of God declares that "many are called, but few are chosen." Matthew 22:14.

How many times do we see those who have been "called but not yet installed" in to ministry office? How long will we wait knowing that we have been "anointed but not yet appointed"?

In those times of waiting, while the Lord is at work behind the scenes preparing us for what He has destined us to be and to do, it can be hard to be patient and remain faithful because we do not see what the Lord is doing and we do not understand His ways.

The walk of faith is an arduous one and testing severely the limits of our endurance and resolve. It is not rarely easy nor is it often comfortable. But trusting in the One who is the Author and Finisher of our faith bring comfort and peace that passes all understanding.

This is David's Early Years ChurchBuster episode.

SEASON ONE INTRODUCTION

Kingdom Principle: Every Ministry has a Prison but every Prison has Key to unlock it.

We know that the things that God has given us in His Word record the good and the bad, the strengths and the weakness of men and women in the Bible. We know that they are accurately recorded that we may learn from what others have done.

We can learn from the good that someone does as well as from the bad that they do. We need to remember the good to emulate and follow after their good examples as well as to remember the bad so as not to emulate and follow their bad examples as we learn what not to do.

Kingdom Principle: Find out what works, and do more of it!

Kingdom Principle: Find out what doesn't work, stop doing it immediately, and never do it again!

There are 13 episodes in Season One of "ChurchBusters". While each episode will build off of the preceding episode's lessons and kingdom principles, every episode is a "stand-alone" study lesson worthy of individual attention and consideration. You may dive in at any point of Season One and not wonder if you missed out on anything.

"ChurchBusters" is directed towards the pastors of Churches and to the leaders of ministries, both "great and small". It is also written for both new Christians as well as the seasoned, mature Believers and will hopefully encourage them to further study the Word of God. For the unbeliever or "un-Churched" it may be an eye-opening series of episodes that will draw them closer to Jesus.

Its direct, hard hitting, "right between the eyes" style is a "no punches pulled" for men and women of God who desire to improve their walk and relationship with the Risen Christ. It is written to these unique individuals who are willing to take a closer look at their lives and do a "reality check".

At times, "ChurchBusters" will be instructional, and at other times it will be correctional. It will cause these men and women to look into the hearts of those that God has placed around them in their ministries and in their congregations.

Sometimes it is going to be directed at those of you who are in a "servant's position" in...
