- How Majestic
David begins Psalm 8 by addressing God by His Great Name: YHWH. God’s Proper Name is referred to as the Tetragrammaton. In verse one, David stresses that God is the God of all humanity by virtue of creation.
3 min - He Who Began a Good Work
Being a Christian does not make one perfect, no, not at all. Being a Christian does make one perfectly forgiven, but the rest is a daily process. The journey of becoming more Christ-like is indeed that: a journey. Paul is convinced that this journey, which we call “sanctification” in theological terms, will continue throughout the lives of the believers in Philippi.
3 min - Is All Well with My Soul? (pt. 1 of 2)
Psalm 42 is a beautiful portrait of learning to always have peace with God. This psalm helps assure the believer that even in the most dire situations, we can confidently say, “It is well with my soul.”

15 min - Be True
Paul outlined a strategy for us to “Be True,” stating, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving (Colossians 2:6-8). Paul’s fourfold guideline can make the “Be True” sentiment a reality.
