Is That Apology Real?

Don't you hate it when someone apologizes and you're not entirely sure it's genuine? How do you respond? Be "gracious" and hope for the best? Be "smart" and believe the worst?

David's midnight run into Saul's sleeping camp gives us some clues. Saul admits he is wrong. He even goes further and invites David back home. Why doesn't David go?

Learn key points about how to assess the difference between apologies and repentance and the critical distinction between forgiveness and restoration.

David, however, isn't without his own issues. He demonstrates how vulnerability brought on by dealing with the same problem for a long, long time can make us susceptible to taking matters into our own hands...with deadly results.
