The worship of our lives is seeking after God’s ways rather than our own. We learn that God’s ways are better because our ways typically cause great hardship and tribulation. God forgives us for living by our own ways and bringing such destruction on ourselves and his earth. He shows his lovingkindness to thousands of…

God’s Generosity in Salvation: Reflecting on the Praise of Psalm 119
God’s Law is good. It facilitates blessing in our lives and prosperity, peace, justice, and equality for society.

The psalmist reflects on the Law of God. The Law is good. It provides the path to happiness and satisfaction in life. It even facilitates a just and equal society. The Law has many benefits, but I have to wonder about salvation. No one perfectly keeps the Law. All people sin and fall short of…

God’s Law, Just Society, and Our Dishonest Gain: Reflecting on the Plea of Psalm 119
In psalm 119 so far, the psalmist As the psalmist reflects on the Law of God, he continues, Incline my heart to Your testimonies And not to dishonest gain (Psalm 119:36).

The Heart of True Praise: The Psalmist as Our Example in Psalm 119
I believe Scripture is divinely inspired. Every human author, guided by the Holy Spirit, penned the only word that is profitable for “teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work” (2 Timothy 3:16-17). In the inspiration of Scripture, God felt…
