Marcus Grodi continues the theme of "Memorable Verses" with Ken Hensley, who works in pastoral care for The Coming Home Network. This time around, they select from John the Baptist and King David, and look at how both of these men attracted acclaim in the eyes of men, but both ultimately realized that to find true fulfillment, they needed to remind themselves that it is God who gives all good things, and He Himself is the one who can fulfill us.
"He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
"You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand." Psalm 16:11
On the latest "Memorable Verses" edition of the Deep in Scripture podcast, Marcus Grodi and Catholic Bible study author Sonja Corbitt talk about two verses from the Psalms that are crucial to understanding how to live in relationship with God. Marcus shares how delighting in the Lord is the way to find true fulfillment, and Sonja talks about how being obsessed with anger distracts us from our true purpose as children of God.

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4
"Be angry, and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent." Psalm 4:4
On this "Memorable Verses" episode of Deep in Scripture, Marcus Grodi and Jim Anderson look at St. Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 5:17 about being a new creation in Christ, and also his teaching in I Timothy 2:5-6, which talks about Jesus being the mediator between God and man who gives himself as a ransom for all. Marcus and Jim discuss how Christ's saving work on the cross, which was offered for all, is the means by which we have the opportunity to become a new creation in Him.
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come." 2 Corinthians 5:17
"For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men -- the testimony given in its proper time." I Timothy 2:5-6
