Sometimes, in this life, things don't seem to work out as they should. Nice guys often seem to finish last (or at least not first). Life's knots sometimes never get untangled. Even the godly find that their hearts and flesh sometimes fail. And yet, in the midst of it all - whether God provides every solution or not - there is comfort simply in knowing that He is near. Listen in as we ponder these things together.

In one of only two psalms written by his pen, Solomon here opens his lips in prayer to God, asking God to make him a godly leader, and to bless his land. But how can we, who are no kings, and who don't have anything like the power or position of Solomon, make application of the king's prayer? Listen in and see.

As with so many of the collection, Psalm 71 takes us in the prayer closet with a man of God in times of trouble. As we listen in, we will discover what our own prayer closets ought to sound and look like when we face our own dark days.

Among the most famous verses in the Bible, ROmans 8.28 hardly needs an introduction. The words on the page are enough to have almost anyone's attention: "All things"? "For good"? Is Paul really saying that? And how can it be? Listen in as we think it through.

At the end of Paul's long correction of the Corinthians' errors concerning the resurrection is a word of encouragement; a reminder of what a blessing it is if we believe in and wait for the resurrection of our bodies. Listen in and be encouraged!

"The eternal God is a dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms." These are some of the most beautiful, poetic words in the Bible. But they are powerful as well, especially when we face uncertainity and trial. Listen in and find out where they come from, and what they mean for struggling God's people!

The last of Jesus' famous "I am" statements is, in some ways, a summary of the others. Everything that we are and everything that we have as Christians is because Jesus is the "I am," and because we are one with Him. What better way to say that than "I am the vine, you are the branches"? Listen in as we consider those words together.

This famous sentence from the lips of Jesus is, yes, a word of correction for the person who thinks there are many ways to God and heaven. But more than that, it is a personal word of encouragement for those who aren't sure they know how to get to heaven at all! Listen in and find out how.
