SNS 85: Allowing God's Word To Speak, Psalm 57

Can I say that I find that God working through his Word is truly an amazing thing? Here we have a psalm praising God. The psalmist begins by pleading with God for help and ends by proclaiming that he will “awaken the dawn” the songs of praise. Quite the transformation. Yet the one I’m referring to happened to me as I was preparing this episode. When I first…. Well, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it.

SNS 084: A Long Day’s Journey into Trust, Psalm 56

Can I say that I find comfort in hearing of another person’s long journey into trust? I don’t know about you, but I only too well identify with the journey the psalmist shares with us here. It is one, which starts with head knowledge – knowing where he needs to be in his faith, knowing where he wants to be in it, and it ends with this knowledge becoming an essential part of his life. The “a-ha” moment, if you will. So, where do I see this? Well, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat about it.

SNS 082: The Sacredness of Asking for Help? Psalm 54

Can I just say, while reading this psalm, I was impressed with the sacredness of asking God for help? In the asking, which involves more than saying, “Hey God, I need this.” It also involves acknowledging the answer and offering thanks and praise for the answer received. What’s the importance of knowing this? Nice question. But before getting into it, let’s first hear the psalm. Then we’ll chat.

SNS 081: Who Is the One Who Says, "There Is No God?" Psalm 53

Can I just say, that this psalm seems to have many layers to it? Specifically speaking, the phrase, “Those who say, there is no God,” can apply to 2 different sets of folks. The first is a straightforward application. Those who say there is no God are the people who simply want nothing to do with God. The second one is found just under the surface and it is, if possible, an even more tragic one. What if the irreligious unbeliever spoken of, is one we consider to be very religious? One who goes to church and says that they are a Christian. How can this be? Before going there, let’s first hear the psalm then we will chat.

1Corinthians 13: 1-3 ~ Paul states that things done without God’s love are worse than obnoxious.

Matthew 7:15-23; 25:31-46 ~ speak of those who think their religion has made them good, have actually missed out, and are now rejected by God. 

John 17:20-23 ~ Jesus asking that we may be one as he and the Father are.
