It’s easy to announce the foolishness of one who would claim that “there is no God.” It is much harder however, to spot the functional atheism in the heart of the Christian who decides to choose sin over the glory and majesty of God. The answer for both, the atheist in word and functional atheist in deed, is the same-repent and believe the Gospel.

The Psalmist highlights a grounded biblical reality that the tongue truly sets forests ablaze and sets men on paths for destruction. The power to tame the tongue is found in the steadfast love of the Lord.

If the last Psalm was an articulation of the gospel that the people of God were looking towards the salvation of God (in Christ) then this Psalm is an articulation of what it is to apply the gospel to one’s life.

There are few places in all of scripture that articulate the gospel better than this Psalm. God truly had been preparing the way for His Son to save the world.

To live a life that is not based in the fears of men and of this world, we must have a mind that is set on God and the eternity that He promises.

The idea of a mountain and the idea of a city innately help us to understand the grandeur of God and what we have been brought into.

What does it mean for us that we serve a King? What a great testimony we have in King David gladly handing that title over to the King of all the earth!

God is our refuge and strength so that we can behold and know God.

Jesus is the only one who truly loved righteousness and hated wickedness. He is the only king who established a kingdom of uprightness. And He's the only one who made a worthy sacrifice at the Lord's table.

A Father would curse His Son so that NO curse could ever separate us from the His love ever again.
