• God spanks.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 99 (read the chapter)My mom and I were having a discussion the other week about spanking. We were watching the Supernanny television show, and the family being chronicled included a dad who “spanked” his children. I put that word in scare quotes because his “spanking” really amounted to ...

• Powerful and Great

  
  FIRE AND HAMMER — Authority: 110
  People love their heroes.  We call our soldiers heroes, and maybe they are well deserving of that title; however they are doing what they have been called and trained to do.  That is essentially risking and at times giving their lives.  I will admit that is heroic.  The same could be said of firefighters, ...

• God is right.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 97 (read the chapter)In this psalm, we find a very famous, very traditional description of God’s throne: “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.” (vs 2) We may hear that a lot, but what does it mean? What is righteousness? What is justice? And what does it mean to say [...]

• God inspires new songs.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 96 (read the chapter)Has God been your Savior for a long time? Have you spent years basking in the mercies of the Lord? Guess what? No matter how long you’ve known the Lord, the psalmist still challenges you to “sing to the Lord a new song.” (vs 1)This is one of the [...]

• Marks of Iniquity

  
  FIRE AND HAMMER — Authority: 110
  Our sins can many times be very grievous to our minds and hearts.  Our iniquities are many; at least mine are.  It gives me great peace, strength and courage to read in the Psalms such verses at this, “If thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand?  But there is forgiveness with Thee, that ...

• Jerusalem and Prayer

  
  FIRE AND HAMMER — Authority: 110
  The City of Jerusalem of the land of Israel is a hot topic.  It causes many people to get furious over it, because it seems to be; in their minds; there religions city.  Israel claims it, Catholicism claims it in the name of Christianity, and Islam claims it in the name of Mohammed.  Thus there is much struggle ...

• Ordered Steps

  
  FIRE AND HAMMER — Authority: 110
  It is usually not an excepted thing to have  your “steps” ordered by someone else.  However, it is the preferred thing for those who are made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 5:21).  If a man or woman joins the military their steps are ordered, or they suffer consequences for their ...

• God takes the long view.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 92 (read the chapter)We have a problem with patience in our society. Maybe it’s the increase in technology. Or maybe it’s simply the decrease in spirituality. One of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is patience, and there seems to be alarmingly little of it these days. We are a buy now, [...]

Restore sight to my eyes! Otherwise, I’ll sleep the sleep of death, and my enemy will say, “I won!” ...

• I will sing to the Lord

  
  Words of Grace — Authority: 487
  Today is Sunday.  So the first part of Psalm 13:6 resonates (at least a little) with us:  “I will sing to the Lord.”  It’s fitting.  It’s right.  It’s what we should do.  It’s what we have to do.  We will sing. But notice why David says he will sing:  “because He has dealt bountifully with ...

• Just shut up and follow

  
  The Heart of a Pastor — Authority: 95
  I have been doing some pondering this week about what it means to be called.  The Gospel text for this Sunday (Jan 22) is Mark 1:14-20 .  Here Jesus is walking along; encounters some guys and simply says “Come, follow me” .  And these rabbi school rejects drop everything to follow Jesus. They leave behind ...

• Lord’s Day Hymn – “I saw the cross of Jesus”

  
  Tolle Lege — Authority: 396
  “I Saw the Cross of Jesus” By Frederick Whitfield, 1829 I saw the cross of Jesus, When burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus, To give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; And in the cross of Jesus I found my peace with God. I love the cross of Jesus, It tells me ...

• God is the only shelter.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 91 (read the chapter)I read a blog online this week that, frankly, made me a little sick. (I won’t link to it here, because I feel it is too graphic for children.) The author wrote about how he and his wife—in an effort to spice things up in their marriage—pursued a trail [...]

• {Proclaim Yahweh’s Greatness}

  
  Common Sense Wisdom — Authority: 99
  Psalm 34 is by David during the time he pretended to be insane before Abimelekh, who then drove him away. Therefore, David was grateful to Yahweh for delivering him once again. He asked those around him to proclaim Yahweh’s greatness with him so that they could exalt his name together. There is something powerful ...

• God is our home.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 90 (read the chapter)Well, that seemed like a no-brainer title for this blog, especially since Psalm 90 begins this way: “Lord, you have been our dwelling place throughout all generations. Before the mountains were born or you brought forth the whole world, from everlasting to everlasting you are ...

• God is faithful.

  
  Genesis Road — Authority: 110
  Psalms / chapter 89 (read the chapter)When you are so familiar with something, it becomes very easy not to see it. I think this is what often happens with Bible study. We get so familiar with certain Bible stories and passages that it becomes difficult to see them with “fresh” eyes. I have found this [...]

• Vengeance and God

  
  FIRE AND HAMMER — Authority: 110
  As I read the Psalms this morning; particularly Psalms 91 – 95; the 94th Psalm and verse 1 was of special interest.  Now let me say off the start that there is no one I can think of that I want harm or God’s vengeance or mine to come on.  I do not believe the Psalmist had any one individual in mind either.  ...
