If the kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, how do we see it?

Faith IN a big God produces a radical obedience that was meant to terminate on Jesus being the center of our worship.

We must learn to see the mercy of God in light of eternity.

The question is not whether we will be faithful or not. The question is to whom or what we will be faithful. Jesus invites us to a life of faithfulness to the One who is ultimately faithful.

When God asks Adam where he is in the garden we need to understand that it is really an invitation of sorts. Many of the Psalms are an honest answer to that question. It would be redemptive for our heart and soul if we were better at answering this question as well.

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.
