God Remembers, Man Forgets - Psalm 9 Today we have far too many "Forgetful Christians". These are people who forget God in the ordinary hours of their day. They live, breathe, and die as Functional Atheists. And the world, the flesh, and the devil incentivize them. Functional Atheists operate their lives under the assumption that life is a mixture of pleasant and uncomfortable, lucky and unlucky,...

Does your life matter? We are creatures with questions. Among the greatest questions are those that inform us of our origin and identity. Where did we come from, and what are we to do with our lives? The further man gets away from any understanding of God as creator and ultimate authority over His creation, the more depraved the man's life will be.  That is the focus of David's great Psalm 8. Davi...

Most people today have grown up being repeatedly told they are a victim, disadvantaged, and have probably experienced some kind of trauma. This narrative allows them to justify their bad attitude, actions, and harm towards others. This is toxic and unfortunate for many reasons. One of those reasons is that there are times when we are unjustly hurt by others and have been sinned against. What do yo...

Have you ever found yourself in desperate need and felt as though there is no way out? Imagine a scene: the protagonist finds himself backed into a corner—literally caught between a wall and all his enemies. They are closing in, and it looks as though there is no escape. But then, to your surprise, this trapped victim accomplishes some extraordinary feat or reveals hidden supernatural powers to de...

At what point in your life did you find yourself at your lowest point? If someone was to ask you about when the greatest testing point of your faith was, does a particular time come to mind? Maybe it was a time where you cried earnestly to God to hear you but began to doubt if He was listening. Maybe it was a time you were eager for an answer from God but weren’t sure if He had given one yet. Perh...

One of the kindnesses the Lord gives us in this life is the pleasure of coming to the end of a day with a mind and heart that is at rest. So often, in our busy, attention demanding, and fallen world, the experience of such a pleasure can seem to be the rare exception instead of the norm. King David did not escape trials and hardships, but in Psalm 4, often called “An Evening Prayer”, he provides i...

It is in times of suffering or the greatest difficulty that we often experience the greatest doubts and ask the hardest questions. When everything has fallen apart, the question that often arises in a person's heart is, "Where is God?" Many spectators or adversaries may even assume "God has abandoned you."    This was the context of David's prayer in Psalms 3. David's son Absalom had slowly stolen...

Over the last couple of years, there has been a growing movement of people promoting the statement "Christ is King." For most Christians, this seems like an obvious statement. However, there are many who bristle at this idea when attached to the public or national spheres of life.  The idea is that Christ is King, generally speaking, at least in a spiritual and personal sense. Many are uncomfortab...

Individualism and autonomy are the highest values of our day. Your body, choice, identity, and your way are the only rules. Unfortunately, that is not how the world works, nor is that the way to a blessed and happy life. All the paths that you can follow are not equal in safety, provisions, or fulfillment.  As we begin our summer series in Psalm 1, we will explore the way of the righteous and the...
