General forms of prayer: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, intercession, and petition.

Psalms 1 and 2 are the introduction to the entire collection of 150.

Along with Psa 1, Psa 2 forms an introduction to the collection. Thus at the outset of the book we have one psalm focusing on the way of the righteous, and another psalm focusing on the victory of the Lord's anointed king over the nations.

I want to first temper this lesson with the statement that I do not hold to the words or ways of men as having the authority of Scripture, no matter how great they are as thinkers of theologians. However, learning from others is very fruitful as long as they are communicating the truth from the Scripture. They bring to us years of learning and experience that we haven't invested and have learned the truth to a level of understanding that they can present it in their own way, a way (not a different truth) that we have perhaps not thought...

From "The God Who Hears," by Bingham Hunter:

During the early 1970s I worked with World Wide Pictures as an evangelist. I would accompany the films and explain the gospel message to those in attendance ... In our case the entire family was involved. After helping us set up and watching film showings for several...
