50. Amnon and Tamar

Richard Rohlin points out that at our church, we tend to do verse-by-verse preaching through books of the Bible as the best way to teach the whole counsel of God's Word. The problem with such a method is that you have stories with some delicate and sensitive subjects that are difficult to treat in a public setting. Such is the case in the account of Amnon's defilement of Tamar. Richard covers this topic in a sensitive way. His message was delivered to an audience of integrated families, so children were present. We live in a society obsessed with lust and this topic -- though difficult -- cannot be ignored except at our peril. Richard Rohlin is the worship pastor at First Baptist Church Las Colinas in Irving, TX -- a family integrated Baptist Church in the Baptist Missionary Association (BMA).
