The voice of trust

Psalm 63

Marriage is God’s great original idea, affirmed by Jesus. A wedding began and will culminate our history. We can best honour marriage by having good ones. Adultery is a grievous sin against god, but is there redemption?

The story of the death of Absalom

Is it true that all murder is killing but not all killing is murder? What is the difference and why does it matter? One key to freedom from emotional bondage is found in applying what Jesus has to say about this commandment.

The voice of thanksgiving

Psalm 34

Why would the God of all creation list this among the top ten matters of absolute importance in His moral scheme? Is there something about social order, moral order, even spiritual order that is captured by obedience to this command? If so, how do we practice this in our daily lives?

The story of David pretending to be insane before Achish

1 Samuel 21:10-15

The Sabbath was given a defined form and a specific function. What is the difference and how do we obey this command today? Why do we worship on Sundays when the Jewish Sabbath was on Saturday?

The voice of lament

Psalm 57

Why is God so concerned about the misuse of His name? What is in the name? What kind of misuse is forbidden and what are the consequences associated with violating this command? What should you do if you have broken this commandment?
