This psalm is a hopeful song of God’s presence and abundant provision in our time of need.  A Psalm of David.  The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his...

Have you ever thought about the fact that Bathsheba had to marry the man who raped her and then murdered her husband? How did she do it?! The story of David and Bathsheba, found in 2 Samuel 11-12, has long been misunderstood and misrepresented in many church traditions. Even some translations of Psalm 51 imply they “committed adultery.” However, a careful study of Scripture never portrays Bathsheb...

The story of "Rahab the Prostitute" provides hope and freedom for those struggling under the heavy weight of shame. Where does shame originate? Why is it so pervasive? And how do we break free from it?  Something must have gone tragically wrong in Rahab’s life. Who told her she wasn’t worthy of love and respect?

Tamar shows us what it means for a woman to be a warrior,...
