What happens when temptation comes to the door—and you decide to feed it?In Nathan’s unforgettable confrontation with King David, Scripture introduces a character who is easy to overlook: the wayfaring man—the traveler.He arrives. He is fed. And then he moves on.But the consequences remain.In A Wayfaring Man: Guarding the Heart When the Traveler Comes, Bishop Jesse W. Lemons, D.Min., Th.D. expands his original sermon into a searching biblical study of David, Nathan, the stolen lamb, the traveler, temptation, personal responsibility, repentance, and the necessity of guarding the heart.Beginning with Nathan’s parable in 2 Samuel 12, this book follows the devastating progression behind David’s fall. Scripture shows that David did not fall in a single moment. Desire moved from sight to thought, from thought to inquiry, from inquiry to action, and ultimately from action to concealment. One unguarded place became a chain of consequences.
