In these psalms, the poet expresses three times that he is “down.” If you have never suffered depression, then you do not share the experience of Moses, David, Jeremiah, and even Paul. This song articulates the tension of despair fighting against faith…and the way of escape for the believer.

Our ability to evaluate and decide clearly about sin is often compromised by the immediate pressures of temptation and emotional investment in the circumstances of the moment. Reflection on sin from a safe distance is the better way to analyze the cycle of sin, confession, and restoration in order to avoid the crash of moral failure and preserve the freshness of life.

Taylor Gabbert takes us through one of the most difficult Psalms in the Bible in Psalm 51. Listen in. 

Psalm 50 was probably a song composed during the reign of David as a warning to Israel not to substitute formality and hypocrisy for true spirituality. Heart worship consists of more than external religious activity alone.

This significant psalm mentions the LORD no less than twenty-five times in only eleven short verses. This is the rock solid faith of a man in physical danger expressing his conviction that God will abundantly save His own. Fear fades with an increasing awareness of God.

God’s banquet in eternity will be the most exclusive gathering in creation history. The guests will be selected on the basis of clear qualifications and strict expectations. A Kingdom citizen displays unmistakable marks.

The question facing Americans today is this: Where do we go from here? The question facing Christian believers is: What is our role in America’s future? There are many suggested answers, but our choice is really only between flight and light.

Pastor Zach Dietz takes us through the opening verses of James' letter to 1st century Christians as he deals with prayer.

While contemporary secular scientists and philosophers debate the existence of God, a simple shepherd discovered the truth three thousand years ago. Both creation and humanity offer conclusions about God that directly contradict the progressive thinking of this generation. Only belief in a personal God makes sense of reality.

Known as an “orphan” psalm, Psalm 1 is a fitting starting point for this hymnbook of the Scriptures. It boasts no author, fits no particular historical moment, and, yet, it outlines the basic choice of life presented to every man and woman in every generation. If this decision is made improperly, then literally, no other decision made in life matters. Choose wisely.
