It’s worth mentioning that this blog isn’t always that concerned to keep up with current affairs. If there are special occasions and events of one sort or another, I don’t feel obliged to mention them. So it is just one of those things that this entry so happens to happen on the same day as […]
Read More It’s All In Your HeadWhat’s with this On The Run series of posts, Christopher? Are you dodging someone? Have the authorities caught up with you? There was a bit of what the Apostle Paul said to his son in the faith, Timothy, that made me stop and pay close attention to it and myself. There is something about this […]
Read More On The Run: Running For Your LifeHere’s a good Psalm to pay attention to carefully. Reasons to praise God? Sure, they are there and offer strong encouragement for the readers to remember how great God is and what He does for His people. It’s all going well and then … “Two-edged swords … execute vengeance … punishments … bind with fetters […]
Read More Psalm 149 – Call To Praise … And …I am a huge fan of this Psalm. Everything in this is building up to the glorious time of peace – real, true, lasting peace. Peace as evidenced by the removal of crime and the threat of evil. Peace as evidenced by the flourishing of the offspring and a fruitful and prosperous land wherein that […]
Read More Psalm 144 – For The Coming PeaceIt is a beautiful thing to see. Brothers together in harmony. I love it when I see it. Brothers in a band making beautiful music that blesses others because they compliment each other so well. Brothers in a football team playing for each other as much without possession as with it, spurring each other onto […]
Read More Psalm 133 – Brothers UnitedThey called it the City of David. Were there an advisor at the time there might have been a suggestion to change its name to something glamorous like Davidopolis or Davidtown. You might think that’s a little silly, but why do you think there are places called Alexandria or Jamestown? Nope, they didn’t change its […]
Read More Psalm 122 – Praying for the PeaceThe Psalmist sees something. He sees someone. Someone he knows his audience needs. Not just a swashbuckling hero, not a muscle bound strongman. It requires a ruler who will exercise righteousness and justice. It requires a priest to meditate the peace. It requires a judge to dispel the wickedness and apply the cause for the […]
Read More Psalm 110 – We Need A…He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. (Psalms 46:9 ESV) Some think it’s money, some think it’s girls, some believe it belongs to the man. It’s thinking like that which gets folks up in arms looking to get […]
Read More Psalm 46 – Who Rules The WorldI love these kind of videos for what they do to deepen the appreciation for the Word. For His Name’s Sake Shalom C. L. J. Dryden
Read More Song of Shalom (A Reflection on the Song of Solomon)There is much to be grateful for in regard to journey mercies. Things that could have gone wrong that didn’t, things that could have been good and turned out great. It’s something I appreciate especially as I am still on the journey. When I think about peace, however, I think not just about the journey, […]
