Psalm, 31 has much in common with other parts of scripture. Phrases appear here that are also found in other psalms, in Jonah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, and in Luke. Trust 1-8 In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! 2 Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be
The majority here must walk or find a mini-bus to take them where they need to go. They do not own cars. In the area where we stay, the buses do not come very often. On the weekends they do not come at all. So, we often give a lift to people we find along the road. There are several
Psalm 30 We do not know when the headings were added to the psalms. We do not know who added those headings. Some scholars consider the headings helpful. Others consider them worse than useless. Because of these doubts, we have paid little heed to the headings in this series. I normally ignore the them. But in regard to psalm 30
You have probably seen the black and white photograph at some point in your life: a triumphant Harry Truman, aglow in the joy of his presidential victory, holds up a newspaper that falsely declares ‘Dewey Defeats Truman.’ The paper in question, the Chicago Tribune, had been so sure that Truman would lose his election that they printed many of the
Revelation 2:12–17 In addition to those “who hold the teaching of Balaam” we learned about in Parts 1 and 2, Jesus warns of the dangers of another type of teaching in verse 15, “’So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.’”Jesus told the Ephesians in 2:6, “‘You hate works of the Nicolaitans,
Text: Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 Non-Christian worldviews common in Canadian society are either behind the scenes or in your face. Their veracity is taken for granted, even when they contradict themselves and each other. The downward path from a Christian consensus to our present state was by no means necessary and certainly not demanded by scientific inquiry. Yet the drift from Biblical
If you knew that God was watching you all day, every day, would that change the way that you live? Guess what? God is watching. From start to finish, the Bible tells us that God is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. That means that there is nothing that can be known which God does not know, that He can do all
By ‘church of Christ’ we mean the church that Jesus built (Matthew 16:18), also called ‘the body of Christ’ (Ephesians 1:22,23; 5:23; Colossians 1:18,24). Christ’s church is unique, one of a kind, incomparable. The foundation of the church is unique: “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 3:11). Christ
Forgiveness is hard. Forgiveness in a modern culture that demands a head for every offense and leaves little room for change and repentance is harder. “Once a sinner, always a sinner” seems to be the motto of the day. A tarnished name never seems to fade, no matter how much effort a person puts into renewal. Sadly, even among Christians,
Psalm 29 In one sense there is not much to be said about this psalm. The text says what it means and means what it says. The main theme is perfectly clear – praise. We need times of praise. Teaching is good. God wants us to make our requests known to him. But we need times when we just praise
When John wrote his three short New Testament letters, he was an elderly man. It is highly likely that he was the last living apostle of Jesus Christ. He had contributed the Gospel of John, and the great book of victory, Revelation. The shortest of his letters is 2 John; it only has 13 verses. It would have been one
Psalm 28 The structure of this psalm is interesting. It opens with a statement of praise and a cry for mercy. “To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me, lest, if you be silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit. 2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
