SNS 45: Simple and Deep, Psalm 17, Psalm Tuesday

Can I just say that this psalm is an example of keeping it both simple and deep? What am I finding to be this height of Simple Not Shallowdom? An honest prayer. You might ask, “What other type of prayer is there?” I’m so glad you asked. But before getting into this, let’s first hear the psalm, shall we? Then we can chat about it.

 

Also, before beginning, I am proud to say that this podcast is now sponsored by our book, Psalms 1-72, A Simple Not Shallow Presentation. This book is a collection of the Psalms, as heard on the Psalm Tuesday episodes. In this book, God’s word is presented in a manner that helps reveal the prayerfulness of the poetry of the Psalms, allowing you a deeper connection, a deeper relationship with him. That is exciting! I’ve provided a couple of links in the show notes for this episode. One to my website where you can learn more about this book and another to where it is located on Barnes and Noble.com, and one more, to its location on Amazon.com, just for your convenience. So, go ahead and collect your copy today. 

 

And, for now, my name is Charles, Charles Yerkes, and this is Psalm Tuesday here on the Simple Not Shallow Podcast. This podcast is for those who want a deeper faith and not an aggressively mediocre one. Psalm Tuesday is a series in which we will listen to a psalm being read in a manner that honors their original use as part of a worship service. Here in episode #45, we are listening to Psalm 17. 

So, grab yourself some coffee, and let’s get started.

SNS 024: Christianity Isn't Merely a Religion

Christianity isn’t merely a religion. How can I say it isn’t? That is not what I said. I said it is not merely one. For authentic Christianity is a relationship that leads to religious practice. While Christianity works itself out in religious practices, these are not all that is to be found in Christianity. These are not even primary to the Christian faith. For, Christianity is primarily a relationship with Christ. This is what we talk about in this episode.

Please tell me what you think about this. You can do this in the comment box below.
