After David killed Goliath, he cut off his head.
There are some giants that are of our own making. They can be things of the flesh, wrong relationships, “pet” sins, or a multitude of other things that seem to start small, but soon become giants that threaten our spiritual walk.
Romans 8:13 tells us to mortify [...]

David took five stones with his sling – why ?? Some believe that Goliath had four relatives who were giants.

From the point of view of the flesh, Saul was the best candidate to fight Goliath. He was the tallest man in Israel.
