This session provides a reflective study of Psalm 15, exploring it as a liturgy of access that defines the ethical requirements for those seeking to dwell in the presence of God. Fr. Assisi Saldanha, C.Ss.R., examines the psalm's ten moral imperatives—focused on integrity, speech, social attitudes, and non-abuse of power—to explain how they guide believers toward maintaining steadfast relationships with both their neighbours and the Lord.

7/5/26 - To live with God you need to be perfect. Thankfully, Jesus was.

"What if the burnout and stress and anxiety and disappointment, those blah days that you and I experience, are really just a deep, deep longing to experience God?"Feeling burned out? Anxious? Just... off? It might not just be a mental health problem, it could be a spiritual one. This week we dove into Psalm 15 and discovered that our deepest longing isn't for rest or relief, it's for God Himself. Don't miss this message.

David wrote Psalm 15 to describe the person who dwells on God's holy hill, someone of integrity, honest speech, and genuine care for others. But read it carefully and you'll realize none of us live it perfectly or consistently. That gap isn't cause for despair. It's an invitation to run back to the God who pursued us first and whose grace keeps renewing the relationship.

Sunday school class on Psalm 15, taught by Pastor Andrew Dionne. June 28, 2026.

  Christ in the Psalms is a yearly reflection on how the people of God pray, engage emotion, and offer all elements of life to the God who dwells with His people. As we learn and reflect, we wondrously find unmistakable glimpses of Christ throughout the process. This summer will take us from Psalm 11 […]

Join us as we walk through the Psalms, exploring how this rich book of Scripture meets us in every valley and hilltop as we experience God's gospel springs for our desert hearts.   Sermon Recorded June 21st, 2026 at Oak Mountain Presbyterian Church Birmingham, Alabama   Dr. Richard Pratt is the President of Thirdmill (thirdmill.org). Thirdmill was launched in response to the lack of training of Christian leaders around the world. Thirdmill recognizes where the church is growing the fastest, those Christian leaders have the least amount of training. Dr. Pratt personally witnessed this in the 1980's as he traveled for missions. Helping the church worldwide became his passion. He believed that any person that had the desire to learn more about the Bible should be given that opportunity. Furthermore, it should be accessible, in their own language, and at no cost to them.

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we're in Psalm 15, and we're looking at verse 5. We'vebeen talking about how to practice what the Apostle Paul encouraged the churchat Philippi to do in Philippians 2:3–4: to esteem others better than themselvesand to carry about their lives in lowliness of mind and humility. When we dothat, there are practical things we need to do. To me, Psalm 15 describes someof these very practical applications we can make in our lives that will help usfulfill what Paul talked about in Philippians 2. Nowwe come down to verse 5. Verse 5 says this: “He who does not put out hismoney at usury, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.” Now theword “usury” usually has to do with interest. You do not put out your moneysimply for oppressive gain through interest. This is not saying you should notinvest in the stock market. It is not saying you should not put your money in asavings account that draws interest. This is talking about personal financialintegrity. Inall of our business dealings, God cares about how we treat people financially.In the Old Testament, you will find several cases where people loaned out moneyto make interest, but they charged exorbitant interest. They literally broughthardship upon other people and almost placed them into slavery because of theinterest they demanded. Sometimes this still happens in our culture and societytoday. The Bible is telling us, as believers, that we are not to put hardshipon others financially simply for our own personal gain. Again,He is speaking about our finances and our business dealings. God cares abouthow we treat others financially. In Proverbs 11:1 it says, “Dishonest scalesare an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight.” If wewant to enjoy fellowship with God, we must live honestly and fairly. ThenDavid closes this chapter with a beautiful promise: “He who does thesethings shall never be moved.” Oh,my friend, what stability! What security! The person who walks with God has asteady life. Trials may come. Storms may rage. But they are anchored in theLord. Psalm 16:8 says, “I have set the Lord always before me; because He isat my right hand I shall not be moved.” Aswe close this chapter, may we remember something very important: none of usperfectly measure up to Psalm 15. If we are honest, we all have failed in ourspeech, our thoughts, our tongue, our motives, and our actions. Ultimately,Psalm 15 points us to Jesus Christ, the only perfectly righteous One who trulyfulfilled every one of these qualities. He alone walked uprightly. He alonealways spoke the truth. He alone never sinned with His tongue. He aloneperfectly pleased the Father. Becauseof His death and resurrection, we can be forgiven, cleansed, and brought intofellowship with God. Hebrews 10:19 says, “Therefore, brethren, havingboldness to enter into the Holiest by the blood of Jesus.” Today, if wereally want fellowship with Jesus Christ—sweet fellowship with the Lord—we mustwalk closely with Christ, confess sin quickly, guard our tongues, livehonestly, and cultivate a heart that fears God. I'masking today: Is there anything in your life that is hindering your fellowshipwith the Lord? Are you walking uprightly before Him? Are you speaking the truthin your heart? My friend, when you draw near to God, we are promised that Hewill draw near to you (James 4:8). Itrust and pray that you, by God's grace and through the Holy Spirit, live outthese truths found in Psalm 15, so that God's promise will be fulfilled as youenjoy and experience a life of stability and security. Godbless you and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we're studying Psalm 15, talking about a person wholives a life of integrity. His character, his walk with God, and his fellowshipwith the Lord are so real that he does things that cause him to be a stable,secure kind of person who literally displays the glory of God in his life everyday. Nowwe come down to verse 4. Here in verse 4b, we find a very remarkable statement:“He who swears to his own hurt and does not change.” This verse isdescribing a person who keeps his word even when it costs him something. Thisis a rare quality today in our culture, because people often break theirpromises when circumstances become inconvenient.  Thisverse jumped out at me years ago: “He who swears to his own hurt and changesnot.” We often do just the opposite. So many times, when we're accused or whensomething takes place, we defer the blame to someone else. “The devil made medo it.” “My wife caused the problem.” “My husband caused the problem.” “My bossis at fault and has made this whole mess for us.” Buthere is a powerful truth. As we try to understand the person who walks withGod, enjoys fellowship with God, and has the lowliness of mind that Paul talksabout in Philippians chapter 2—esteeming others better than himself—this is apowerful thought: you swear to your own hurt and do not change. Sometimes youmay even take the blame for something you didn't do. NowI know when I say that, especially today, people respond, “I'll never do that.Why should I take the blame for something I didn't do?” Sometimes, to keeppeace. Maybe just to keep your mouth shut when accusations come. Instead oftrying to defer the blame or defend yourself—even when you truly didn't doit—you simply remain silent. Youmight say, “How can I do that?” Let me tell you—Jesus did exactly this. He tookthe blame for something He didn't do. He took your sin, my sin, and the sin ofthe whole world upon His shoulders. He took it to the cross. He paid a terribleprice when He “swore to His own hurt and did not change.” He simplysaid, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” Actually,He prayed for those who were guilty and who were to blame for putting Him onthe cross. To the thief on the cross, He said, “Today you will be with Me inparadise.” That thief admitted, “I am getting what I justly deserve.” YetJesus got what we justly deserved in our place. He swore to His own hurt anddid not change. Sosometimes—not every situation, but many times—the situation calls for us to saynothing. Just say nothing. Take the blame and have peace with those around us,even if it means pain, hurt, or loss for us. Jesus died on that cross—aterrible death. He took the blame for something He didn't do. If He did that,don't you think maybe we could ask God for grace sometimes to do the same? Whenthings happen and we are being blamed, perhaps we should just keep our mouthsshut instead of trying to fight back, blame others, or expose everyoneinvolved. Now listen, there are times when justice must be pursued. God is aGod of justice. God says, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”Romans chapter 12. Solet's try to practice this the best we can. This is a hard one. I stillremember memorizing this verse and thinking, “Wow, I don't know if I can dothis every time I need to.”  But by God'sgrace, and by looking to our example—Jesus Christ on the cross—"when Hewas reviled, He reviled not again.” Ohmy friend, may God help us to have that kind of spirit and that kind ofattitude. I trust this encourages you today and does not discourage you. Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

What actually creates a peaceful life?In this teaching on Psalm 15, John Ortberg explores the ancient biblical vision of an “unshakable” life — a life rooted in goodness, grace, truth, and the presence of God.Psalm 15 asks:“Who may dwell on your holy mountain?”The answer turns out to be both beautiful and deeply challenging.Along the way, John reflects on:Why peace is more than a feelingThe connection between character and stabilityGossip, envy, greed, ego, and emotional formationPositive psychology and virtueWhat kind of people we become through daily choicesWhy “the good life is with God”This episode is practical, thoughtful, convicting, and hopeful all at once.Scriptures:Psalm 15Matthew 6:33Luke 23:39–43#Psalm15 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #Peace #Character #BibleStudy #Psalms #formation 

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we're looking at an amazing chapter in the Bible, Psalm15. When I read this years ago and saw that very last verse that said, “Hethat does these things shall never be moved,” I thought, “I better find outwhat these things are.” So Psalm 15:1 asks the question, “who is the person,the individual, who has fellowship with the Lord and who lives in the presenceof the Lord?” And then the rest of the psalm describes certain attitudes andactions that characterize that person. Forinstance, we've been talking the last couple of days about how he watches histongue. He does not say things that are slanderous, and he doesn't gossip. Hedoesn't take up a reproach against his neighbor or take sides against aneighbor in a way that causes more difficulty. Instead, he is a peacemaker. Todaywe're moving on to verse 4 in this chapter. Here, the psalmist describes how weshould look at the wickedness around us: “In whose eyes a vile person isdespised, but he honors those who fear the Lord.” What this means is thatthe godly person does not admire wickedness. We live in a culture today thatcelebrates sin and mocks righteousness, but the believer must not allow theworld to shape his values. Wehave a Madison Avenue kind of attitude where we feel like we have to haveeverything the world has. We are constantly being brainwashed through socialmedia, television, and advertising into believing that this is the best life:you have to own these kinds of appliances, wear these kinds of clothes, runaround with this kind of crowd, drive this kind of car, and live in this kindof house. Weend up joining the rat race trying to keep up with people we don't even knowand, most likely, don't even like. Yet here we are living that way—driven byit, going to work, trying to get more in order to keep up with people we don'teven care about. And while we should care about their souls, we often care moreabout what they think about us. May the Lord help us. We need to wake up. Weborrow money we don't have, to buy things we don't need, in order to impresspeople we don't even like. I read that statement one time and thought, “Oh,goodness, how true that is.” So,“in whose eyes a vile person is condemned,” as one translation says, or“despised.” In Psalm 1, David begins the book of Psalms with these words: “Blessedis the man who does not walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in theway of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” The whole book ofPsalms—a book about living the blessed life—begins with a negative. We do nothang out with, run around with, celebrate, or seek advice from those who areevil and wicked in order to determine how we should live. Instead, we look intoGod's Word. That'swhy verse 2 of Psalm 1 says, “But his delight is in the law of the Lord, andin his law doth he meditate day and night.” Then this person “shall belike a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth his fruit in hisseason. His leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.” Oh,that's the kind of life David is describing here in Psalm 15. So, when it comesto vile, wicked, and evil people, we should despise their way of life. Weshould have a heart that says, “That's not the path I want to follow.” Butthen it goes on to say that we “honor those who fear the Lord.” Weencourage those who love Jesus, who stand for truth and righteousness. This iswhat God wants us to do. We honor and value godliness, faithfulness, humility,and obedience because that is the kind of life that pleases God. Maythe Lord help us not to join the “rat race”! (Read the book of Ecclesiastes)  Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Today we've been looking at Philippians chapter 2, where theApostle Paul is encouraging the church at Philippi to live in unity, to haveunity of spirit as they fellowship with one another. The only way they can dothat is, as he says in verse 4, to “let each of you look out not only forhis own interests, but also for the interests of others.” In the previousverse, he talked about having “lowliness of mind and letting each esteemothers better than themselves” (v. 3). Aswe were thinking about that, our minds went to Psalm chapter 15, a great psalmthat teaches us the character of a man who walks with God, who enjoysfellowship with God, who enjoys fellowship with other believers, and who livesa life of peace in his relationships with others. Today,we are looking at Psalm 15:3b, where the psalmist writes, “Nor does evil tohis neighbor, nor does he take up a reproach against his neighbor.” Remember,the first part of verse 3a, that we talked about yesterday, “He that doesnot backbite with his tongue”—in other words, he is not a gossip or aslanderer.  Herethe psalmist is speaking about the fact of loving others and refusing to joinin spreading accusations. “He does no evil to his neighbor”. He doesn'tthink about how he can hurt his neighbor or cause harm to come to his neighbor.Who is a neighbor? A neighbor could be somebody you work with. It could besomebody who lives across the street from you, somebody who sits on the samepew with you at church, or someone you encounter during the day as you goshopping or go out for entertainment. A neighbor is anybody around you who hasa need in his life, and that need is always Jesus and a relationship with God. So,we do no evil to our neighbors. For example, when someone becomes a source ofirritation to us by the way they're driving, we don't respond and then drive ina way that causes evil to them. “We do no evil to our neighbor”. Thenhe goes on to say: “Nor does he take up a reproach against his neighbor.”We don't listen to criticism and then repeat it. When we hear something bad aboutsomeone else, we don't carry it on to another person so they will also thinkbadly of that individual. Usually, when we spread criticism, we are trying toput somebody else down so that we look a little better ourselves. The motive inour own hearts, of course, is pride, and that is the opposite of the lowlinessof mind that Paul talks about in Philippians 2. Godcalls us to be peacemakers, not troublemakers. This verse is basically teachingus what we read in Romans 12:18: “If it be possible, as much as lies in you,live peaceably with all men.” Remember, Jesus Himself said in the Sermon onthe Mount, found in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for theyshall be called the children of God.” Whencertain people come into a room, immediately it seems like there aredistractions, division, strife, discord, and bad feelings. You know what I'mtalking about. But there are other people who come in with the glow of God uponthem, walking in fellowship with the Lord—people who love anyone and everyone,and it radiates in their eyes, in their speech, in their attitude, and in theirconversation. They come into the room, and they are peacemakers. Oh,how blessed are the peacemakers! Jesus said they shall be called children ofGod. You know what that means? It means they are recognized as having anintimate, close relationship with God Himself as their Father. One Bible translationcalls them the sons of God. People see them and say, “This person must live ina different family than I came from. I need to find out about that family.” Howinteresting is that? Ipray that as we think about these things, we will live lives of integrity andtruly become people who lift others up rather than tear them down. Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Todaywe are focusing on verse 2 of Psalm 15, where David is answering the questionhe asked in verse 1: “LORD, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwellin Your holy hill?” In other words, who is able to experience and enjoycontinuous intimate communion and fellowship with the LORD God Almighty? Thenhe answers the question in verse 2: “He who walks uprightly, and worksrighteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart.” First,we are walking uprightly, and we are working righteousness. We are doing rightthings. We are thinking about right things. Then David says something sopowerful, and I believe it is literally key to our walk in the Christian life: “Andspeaks the truth in his heart.” To experience true fellowship with theLORD, it is essential that we not only thinks about truth, and not only hastruth in our heart, but that we speaks the truth. We walk and live in thattruth. Thatis why in Second, and Third John—those books where John is writing tobelievers—he says that one of his greatest joys is to hear that his childrenwalk in the truth. Now what does this mean: “speaks the truth in his heart”? Asa matter of fact, in Psalm 51, where David is repenting of his terrible sin ofadultery and murder, he says this in verse 6: “Behold, You desire truth inthe inward parts.” Godwants us to think about the truth, talk about the truth, listen to the truth,and let the truth guide our decisions. You see, I am convinced the battle ofthe ages is the lie versus the truth—the lie versus the truth. I have oftenthought that when people come and say, “Pastor Mike, what should I do aboutthis?” or “I'm having a problem and I don't know how to handle this,” one of mymain objectives as I sit there, listen to them, and begin to share counsel issimply this: I need to tell them the truth—the truth that comes from the Wordof God. The reason they are confused or in trouble is because they have been listeningto, and “speaking” the lie in their mind and heart. RememberGod's Word is Truth. Jesus said in John 17:17: “Sanctify them through Thytruth. Thy word is truth.” Not only that, remember Pilate asked thequestion in John chapter 18:38: “What is truth?” Interestingly, justbefore Pilate asked that question, Jesus had said: “For this cause I wasborn, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witnessto the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Then Pilateasked the question, “What is truth?”—while Truth Himself was standingright in front of him, and he was missing it. Myfriend, Jesus is truth. John 14:6 says: “I am the way, the truth, and thelife. No man comes to the Father but by Me.” On the other hand, the devilis a liar. In John 8:44, Jesus said: “You are of your father the devil, andthe lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, andabode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie,he speaks of his own, for he is a liar and the father of it.” Inthe very beginning, Satan lied to Eve. We are either believing the lies of theevil one as we make choices and decisions in life, or we are listening to thetruth of God's Word. That is why we must let mercy and truth come into ourhearts. Proverbs 3:3 tells us: “Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bindthem around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, our hearts.” Becauseas we listen to the truth, speak the truth in our hearts, and make ourdecisions based on truth rather than the lies of the evil one, my friend, itmakes all the difference in the world in our daily walk. That is why John wouldsay to those precious disciples in Second and Third John: “I rejoicedgreatly that I found thy children walking in truth.” We walk uprightly. We workrighteousness. And we speak the truth in our hearts—in our innermost being. Welet that truth live within us. Are you letting that truth live in you today? Itrust you are. 

Thereis nothing more important than practicing the presence of the Lord and desiringto be in His presence on the holy hill. That is Mount Zion. That is where thetemple was. That is where God made known the glory of His presence among Hispeople. You dwelt in His presence there. Today, we can dwell in His presenceevery day. Asa matter of fact, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. So what does“the fear of the Lord mean? It means being continuously aware of and consciousof the presence of the Lord in your life—24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Youknow He is there. As Brother Lawrence put it, you “practice His presence.” Thatis what David is asking here. Now,who can do that? Who has the right, the privilege, and the experience ofdwelling in the presence of the Lord? David begins to answer the question inverse 2: “He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks thetruth in his heart.” Three things are mentioned right off the bat. First, “walkinguprightly”. Second, “working righteousness”, and “speaking thetruth in his heart”.  Lookat what he says: “He who walks uprightly.” This speaks of integrity. Itmeans a life that is sincere, genuine, and consistent—not perfect, but real. Theword “walk” reminds us that this is a daily lifestyle. Remember, God toldAbraham in Genesis 17:1: “Walk before Me blamelessly.” That is walkinguprightly. That is walking in the right direction following Jesus every day! Youfind this same truth mentioned in Psalm 23:3 “He leads me in paths ofrighteousness for His name's sake.” Righteousness is doing that which isright. So first, we walk with the Lord uprightly. We are cleansed of our sin.We are enjoying fellowship with Him. We are listening to His voice, payingattention to His Holy Spirit, and walking in obedience by faith. We areenjoying a life of experiencing God. We walk uprightly, and it shows forth tothe world around us. That is so important. Thenwe “work righteousness”. Now this is interesting. Righteousness is doingwhat is right. I will never forget, as a young Christian, hearing someone say: “Doright. Do right. Do right. If the stars fall from heaven, do right.” People havecome to me asking for counseling or advice on how to handle a certain situation,and my answer—because of how I have been influenced—is simply this: “Be aChristian. Be a Christian.” “Just do right!” Thatmeans you do right according to God's Word. It means you follow Jesus. You dowhat Jesus would do in that situation, my friend. The only way you can do thatis by first walking uprightly. You walk in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. Remember,our righteousness is as filthy rags. What we do on our own, without the HolySpirit helping us, guiding us, and directing us, “is as filthy rags”. Itmight impress people and make us feel good, but it actually stinks in the sightof God (Isaiah 64:6). Butmy friend, when we follow Jesus, when we are in love with Jesus, when we areenjoying His presence, when we have the fear of the Lord, and when we arewalking in a path that brings glory to His name, people can see the differencein our lives. That is a powerful thing. So our walk matches our profession whenwe walk uprightly. James 1:22 says: “But be doers of the word, and nothearers only, deceiving your own selves.” Abeliever who enjoys close fellowship with God seeks to obey the Lord. Oh, myfriend, that is not sinless perfection, but it is a heart that desiresholiness. May God help us to have that kind of heart. Let us continue over thenext few days looking at Psalm 15. I hope you will take time to memorize it tooand hide it in your heart, that you might not sin against the Lord.Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Ihave been so blessed with wonderful mothers in my life. My mother was, I wouldalmost say, the perfect mother. She loved us, cared for us, prayed for us, andset a wonderful example before us. We miss her so much. I'm sure there are manyothers out there whose mothers have gone to be with the Lord. We say, “Godbless you,” and we trust that God's grace and comfort will surround you todayas you reflect on precious memories of your wonderful mother. Iam also married to one of the most wonderful mothers in all the world—andthat's Edith. She is a reflection of Christ in her love for our children andgrandchildren. She is giving, kind, and the greatest cook in the world, as youcan probably tell when you look at me! Our grandchildren come to be with us, Ithink, just to eat her cooking. We are so blessed, and I'm sure many of you areas well. So today, we say to all the mothers out there: Happy Mother's Day! Aswe were finishing our devotion yesterday on Philippians chapter 2, verses 1through 4—the introduction where Paul is basically telling us to be kind to oneanother, thoughtful of each other, and to look out for one another's interestsrather than just our own—I couldn't help but think of Psalm 15. Psalm15 is a psalm I memorized early in my Christian life. I memorized it because itonly has five verses. It's a short psalm. The last verse ends with these words:“He that doeth these things shall never be moved.” That caught myattention. “He that doeth these things shall never be moved.” You cantell I memorized it in the old King James Version. I thought, “Wow, if you dothese things—what are these things?” Psalm15 has five verses, and David begins the psalm by asking a very importantquestion—one that we should all ask. It is found in verse 1: “LORD, who mayabide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill?” In other words,who can truly enjoy fellowship with God? Who can live in the presence of theLord and experience communion with Him? That is a good question. Are youenjoying fellowship with the Lord? That'swhat Paul is talking about in Philippians chapter 2—and really throughout theentire book, for that matter. He is speaking of fellowship with the Lord andfellowship with one another, so that we become an example to the world aroundus as we live as citizens of heaven. Davidis not asking how a sinner can be saved, because we know from the wholetestimony of Scripture that salvation is given by grace through faith alone. Ephesians2:8–9 says: “For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not ofyourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast.” Noone earns entrance into heaven by good deeds. We are saved only through therighteousness of Jesus Christ. ButPsalm 15 describes the character of the person who walks closely with God. Itdescribes the kind of life that enjoys intimate fellowship with the Lord. Yousee, sin breaks fellowship. It does not remove salvation for the true believer,but it does hinder communion with God. Isaiah 59:2 says: “But youriniquities have separated you from your God.” SoDavid is asking, “Who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who can walk daily inthe presence and blessings of God?” Then he begins to give us the answer inverse 2: “He who walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks thetruth in his heart.”  First, we findthat the person who enjoys fellowship with God is a person who walks uprightly. Overthe next few days, I believe we are going to continue through this psalm andanswer the question: “He that doeth these things shall never be moved.” Whatare these things? What are those qualities that lead us into true, intimatefellowship with Jesus Christ? That is what we want for all of our mothers, allof our dads, and all Christian believers who are reading or listening to ourPastor's Chat today. Godbless and may you have a wonderful, wonderful day!

The question we all need to ask is: How does God want me to live? Psalm 15 asks that question and gives us God's profound answer. Join us as we dive into this wonderfully rich psalm! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What is the point of the opening question of verse 1? What is the author speaking about at with terms like "abide" and "dwell"?  2.    Why doesn't the author simply answer his own question saying, "those who are in covenant with the Lord?"  3.    Is this psalm, teaching some kind of works salvation? If not, then what is it teaching?  4.    Verse 2 tells us, "He who walks with integrity, and works righteousness, and speaks truth in his heart." What does it mean to walk in integrity? What does it mean to "work righteousness?" What does it mean to speak truth in our heart?  5.    Verse 3 tells us, "He does not slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his neighbor, nor takes up a reproach against his friend." How is our speech a reflection of abiding with God? How about not doing evil to a neighbor, why does that reflect a person who abides with God?  6.    Have you ever had a friend annoy you? Or sin against you? How does the phrase in verse 3, "does not take up a reproach against his friend" speak to those kinds of situations?  7.    When a person walks with God, how does this reality change their view of God's enemies in verse 4? How does this reality change their view of those who fear the Lord? Why?  8.    In verse 4, what does it mean to "swear to our own hurt"? Where have you had to do this in your own life? Why does this characterize those who abide with God?  9.    According to verse 5, how does fellowship with the Lord affect our financial dealings? Why? 10.    What is the final promise at the end of verse 5? Why would this be true of those who abide with the Lord?  11.    When you reflect on Psalm 15, these statements can also be shown in reverse… those who walk in inconsistency do not abide with God. Those who walk in wickedness do not abide with God. Those who walk in falsehood do not abide with God. Those who slander others or think evilly of others, do not abide with God. We could keep going… as you reflect on these principles why can't we abide with God and still walk in these ways? 12.    Read over Psalm 15 one more time. Where are these principles true of you? Where do you need more work?  Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis! Available on Amazon just in time for the Genesis relaunch in January!

Daily Morning Prayer (4/16/26) from Trinity Anglican Church (Connersville, IN): Psalms 79-81; 2 Samuel 4; Acts 13; Metrical Psalm 15:1-51 Lord, who's the happy man that may to thy blest courts repair? Not, stranger-like, to visit them, but to inhabit there? 2 'Tis he, whose ev'ry thought and deed by rules of virtue moves; Whose gen'rous tongue disdains to speak the thing his heart disproves. 3 Who never did a slander forge his neighbor's fame to wound; Nor hearken to a false report, by malice whispered round. 4 Who vice, in all its pomp and pow'r, can treat with just neglect; And piety, thought clothed in rags, religiously respect. 5 Who to his plighted vows and trust has ever firmly stood; And, though he promise to his loss, he makes his promise good.If you find this ministry edifying, please consider making a one-time donation or becoming a regular contributor here: https://trinityconnersville.com/give/To read along, visit: https://ie.dailyoffice1662.com/To sing along with the Brady and Tate Metrical Psalter, visit: https://www.friendsofsabbath.org/cgmusic.com/workshop/newver_frame.htmTo own a Bible, visit: https://www.thomasnelsonbibles.com/product/kjv-center-column-reference-bible-with-apocrypha/

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! In today's episode, recorded on February 5th, 2025, Hunter guides us through day 36 of our year-long journey through the Scriptures. Together, we dive into Exodus chapters 39 and 40, Psalm 15, and Acts chapter 12, exploring themes of freedom, transformation, and the power of prayer. As we witness the completion of the tabernacle and the consecration of the priests, we're reminded of how God's presence dwells among His people. Psalm 15 challenges us to reflect on the character of those who may enter God's sanctuary, while Acts 12 unveils Peter's miraculous deliverance from prison and contrasts it with Herod's downfall. Throughout the episode, Hunter encourages us to recognize that every gift, victory, and measure of freedom in our lives comes from God alone—not our own striving. We'll end with heartfelt prayers for ourselves, our families, and the world, trusting in God's love and letting His joy be our strength. Let's embark on this soul-shaping journey together and open our hearts to where God's Word might lead us today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: It's all a gift. Peter finally comes to his senses. He finally realizes that he was not in chains anymore, that he was free. And he quickly and immediately realizes that it was the Lord who broke those chains and set him free. We are also told that the church was praying for him. And we can't help but draw a line between the people's prayers and Peter's dramatic deliverance. Somehow the church, through prayer, was able to participate with what God was actually doing. And for all this, Peter is quick to give God the praise and acknowledge that it is all from him. It's all a gift. This is so unlike what we hear from Herod. When people begin to praise and treat him and speak of him as if he were a God, he does nothing to correct them. He readily and gladly accepts their worship. As a result, he's struck with worms and he dies an absolutely horrendous, inglorious death. When we take the glory that is due only to God, we are not free. No, we are consumed from the inside out. Living for the glory of yourself won't bring life. It won't bring freedom. It will only bring death. No matter how splendid that life might appear. God is the source of all good in our life. He's the only one who has broken the chains humanity was bound to. He's the only one who has rescued us from the dark dungeons we've been sentenced to. He's the only one that sets us free. It's all a work of God, lest any of us should boast. So let's awaken from the fog like Peter did, standing in the middle of the street, suddenly realizing that God had done this amazing thing. That his chains were broken, the gates were opened, that he was walking out free into a new day. God had done it all. Let's awaken like Peter did, to see that God has done all of these things for us too. Let's make sure that we're like Peter and give God the glory for all the good that he's brought into our life. It's all from Him. Any victories that we might have experienced, any growth that we've known as Christians, any new insight or understanding of God's love, it's all a gift from Him. These are all from God, not of us, but they are all for us. For our joy, for our freedom, but for his glory. So let's live fully aware in the knowledge that God is the source of our freedom in life. He is the one that causes chains to come off. He is the one that walks with us into a new day. May this day be one where we honor him for all that he has done. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL
