Practical Atheist
Psalm 14:1-7 There are many practical atheists around us. We might actually be one. A practical atheist is someone who in everyday life lives as if the LORD wasn’t really present, didn’t really know or care, and who doesn’t have influence on current decisions and life choices. The practical atheist makes their own choices,Continue reading “Practical Atheist”
How Long?
Psalm 13:1-6 We are not a patient creature. We don’t like to wait. And yet our society is created in such a way that waiting is an inevitable part of life. Even fast food isn’t fast anymore. It used to be that burger joints would have a stock of sandwiches already made on theContinue reading “How Long?”
Unfaithful
Psalm 12:1-8 Some of the deepest wounds in life come because someone we trust lies to us. These wounds can penetrate so deeply that we begin to not trust anyone.

Up from the Grave
Psalm 9:13-20 Even as there seems to be some relief on the horizon, we can still be in a battle. Often in life when we get some relief, it isn’t complete relief. Very few people have no problems at all. We all seem to have some struggles. And as the old saying goes, “WhenContinue reading “Up from the Grave”
Relief from Enemy Pursuit
Psalm 9:1-12 Sweet relief! Nothing can feel quite as wonderful as when the pressures of life suddenly lift. It is as if the weight has been lifted off your shoulders. You energy level increases and you fell a spring in your step again. Those around you notice the change. Sleep returns to normal. InsteadContinue reading “Relief from Enemy Pursuit”
Majestic
Psalm 8:1-9 Majestic is not a word that we use too much these days. The best example of something majestic is the treatment of the royal family in England. The trumpets are sounded, the royal carriages drawn by horses come forth, the riders dressed to the max. The band strikes up its tune. FlagsContinue reading “Majestic”
