Psalms 118:19-29

Psalms 118:19-29

Today is day 324 and we are studying The Seventh Commandment. 324. Why does God forbid adultery? Adultery is a sin against one's spouse or spouse-to-be; against the sexual partners with whom it is committed; against their children, family, and friends; against human society by undermining the institution of marriage; and against God, in whose Name marriage vows are made. (2 Samuel 11:2–12:14; Proverbs 5; Malachi 2:13–16) We will conclude today by praying Proper 6 found on page 616 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Jesus Followers Seek First God's Will, and then They “Die” to their Self-Ambitions and Self-Appetites and Take Up Their Cross MESSAGE SUMMARY: In a time in which we hear so much about self-help, self-image, and self-actualization, Jesus is saying self-denial is the way to life for Jesus Followers. Jesus tells us, in Matthew 16:24, that self-denial is a key element in following Him: “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.'". “Taking up one's cross” means to die to self-ambitions and self-appetites. When we die to our self-ambitious and self-appetites, we put them on the cross; and  Jesus' life moves through us: “Not my will but Thy will.”. By denying self, we become alive in Jesus; and His Spirit flows through us – we experience eternal life and abundant life.     TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone.  I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent.  For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, Because of who I am in Jesus Christ, I will not be driven by Inadequacy. Rather, I will abide in the Lord's Abundance. “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5).

The King of glory, might in strength, also is our Good Shepherd, and He leads us like a flock. Today we meditate on one of the most beloved Psalms, reminding ourselves that our ultimate destination is glorious eternity in the presence of our Creator, Savior, and Sustainer.Psalm 23"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil; for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever."Our So What?This life is not our most extraordinary destiny; our relationship with our Shepherd begins here, and as we grow in prayer, our lives will have more meaning on earth as they will in heaven. Glory to God. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen1 Timothy 1:17Brethren, let's pray for one another.

At Times, Are You Unrepentant in Your Spiritual Life and, Therefore, “storing up wrath for yourself on the {Judgement} day of wrath”? MESSAGE SUMMARY: Penitence is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. Penitence is a daily and moment by moment occurrence. None of us is perfect, and not one of us always does the will of God. Paul, in Romans 2:4-5, is unequivocal in establishing the need for your continuing penitence and the consequences of your not repenting of your sins on a real-time basis: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Therefore, we all need to repent and return to the Lord. You can become cocky and arrogant in your spiritual life – “I am a Christian; God has done this for me.”. As the Psalmist tells us in Psalms 32:5 of his confession and his penitence: “I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, ‘I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,' and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.". You can rest on our perceived laurels; but these perceptions, of personal goodness and righteousness, can lead you quickly to a need for your penitence.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Most merciful God I confess that I have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what I have done, and by what I have left undone. I have not loved you with my whole heart; I have not loved my neighbors as myself. I am truly sorry and I humbly repent. For the sake of your son Jesus Christ, have mercy on me and forgive me; that I might delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of Your Name. Amen.  TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I will rejoice in Him (Philippians 4:4). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Mathew 3:8-11; Romans 2:4-5; 2 Corinthians 7:10; Psalms 140:1-13. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

“Proverbs 2 — The Wisdom That Guards Your Life”In today's episode, we walk verse-by-verse through Proverbs 2, discovering the kind of wisdom that not only informs your life—but protects it. Scripture shows us that the first reward of pursuing wisdom isn't earthly success… it's learning to fear the Lord, the very beginning of understanding.As we explore Proverbs 2:5–22, we see how God Himself becomes our shield, our guide, and our delight. We unpack what it really means when the Bible says the Lord “stores up” wisdom for the upright, how His Word takes root in our hearts, and why true discernment keeps us from the traps of corrupt men and seductive temptations.You'll hear how foolish paths promise thrills but lead only to destruction—while God's way leads to joy, safety, clarity, and life. From Genesis to Psalms to the teachings of Jesus, we trace how Scripture consistently reveals a God who watches over His people, teaches them, protects them, and calls them to walk in His light.This message is both a warning and a comfort:• Wisdom helps you recognize twisted words, false promises, and deceptive influences.• It keeps your feet off crooked paths.• It shapes your heart to hunger for righteousness.• And ultimately, it draws you into a deeper, abiding life in Christ.If you're hungry for biblical truth, if you love verse-by-verse teaching, or if you simply want to grow in discernment and wisdom—this episode will encourage you, challenge you, and point you back to Jesus, the One who keeps us from stumbling and teaches us the way to life.Pull up a seat, open your Bible, and let's walk through Proverbs 2 together—discovering a wisdom that truly changes everything.

"Great Are You, Lord," is a devotional text focusing entirely on the magnitude and character of God. It powerfully asserts that God's greatness is evident in both His mighty power of creation, such as forming the heavens by speaking, and His profound compassion and mercy toward humanity. The text heavily relies on scriptural references, quoting numerous Psalms and other biblical books to support its central theme that God is unchanging, faithful, and forgiving. Ultimately, the source functions as a call to action, urging the audience to respond to this divine greatness with a surrendered life, unwavering faith, and continuous, earnest praise.

NEW #BIYE w @OliveTreeBible DAY 322 - Ezekiel 37:1-38:23 James 1:19-2:17 Psalms 117:1-2 Proverbs 28:1

This past Sunday, we had the great privilege of hosting Jonathan & Melissa Helser. Jonathan released a powerful word that invites us into a profound exploration of what it means to run the race of faith for the long haul. Drawing from Hebrews 12, we're reminded that we're surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses—heroes of faith who have gone before us, cheering us on. The central challenge is clear: how do we keep running when blizzards hit our lives? When discouragement, comparison, and the enemy's lies threaten to make us lose our way? The answer lies in what Jesus himself did. In two critical moments—Gethsemane and the cross—we see Jesus reaching for ropes that would lead him back home to the Father. These weren't random acts of desperation, but well-worn paths he'd walked many times before. The Lord's Prayer and Psalm 22 became his lifelines in the storm. This teaches us something revolutionary: if the Son of God needed spiritual disciplines and ancient prayers to navigate his darkest hours, how much more do we need them? The Psalms aren't just beautiful poetry—they're 150 well-worn paths back to God's heart, written in every human emotion from the highest highs to the lowest lows. We're challenged to ask ourselves: what kind of worshiper do we want to be 40 years from now? Will we still be fascinated with Jesus, or will we have grown familiar and distant? The vision is to become like those saints who, at 91 years old, still weep with wonder at the Father's love—not because they're sentimental, but because they've stayed connected to the source of all life.For more info, you can go to our website, check us out on Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube.

This is my relatively short talk given during the 2025 Plato's Academy multidisciplinary conference: The Philosophy and Psychology of Anger, during which I discuss some of the useful insights and practices early Christian thinkers (2nd-5th Century CE) can provide us. These don't require one to be committed to Christianity and can be applied by a wide range of people. I begin with a passage from Pierre Hadot's book Philosophy As A Way Of Life: "[Christians] believed they recognized spiritual exercises, which they had learned through philosophy, in specific scriptural passages . . . The reason why Christian authors paid attention to these particular biblical passages, was that they were already familiar, from other sources, with the spiritual exercises of prosokhē, meditation on death, and examination of the conscience.” What Hadot calls “spiritual exercises” gets called by a variety of other terms by other thinkers. Foucault's "technologies of the self", Nussbaum's "therapeutic arguments", as well as the more general "philosophical practices" many of us reference in our work and study. What we can say about these early Christian thinkers is that many had a philosophical education, had opportunities to engage with pagan philosophical schools, some of which had pretty strong religious stances, with precursor and contemporary Jewish thought, and with a variety of other disciplines like rhetoric, medicine, literature, political theory, law, history, music, etc. There was already a strong interest in issues about anger already raised and debated in ancient philosophy including: vicious anger, can anger have useful role, dangers of indulging or excusing anger, anger and courage or justice, types or levels of anger, divine anger. Early Christian thinkers rely upon or incorporating broadly Platonic psychology, and ethical conceptions drawn from Platonist, Stoic, and Aristotelian schools, but within a framework Christianity provides. The thinkers I reference and discuss in this presentation include: 2nd-4th Century CE: Clement of Alexandria 150 – c. 215 AD, Tertullian 155 – c. 220, Origen 185 – c. 253, Lactantius 250 – c. 325 4th 5th century CE: Basil of Caesarea 330 – 379, Gregory of Nyssa 335, Evagrius Ponticus 345–399 AD, John Chrysostom 347-407, Ambrose 339-397, Jerome 342–347-420, Prudentius 348-413?, John Cassian 360 – 435, Augustine of Hippo 354-430 Some of the key scriptural passages they tend to engage most heavily with include: A number of discussions of anger in Pre-Christian Jewish scriptures, particularly in the Psalms, Proverbs, and Sirach The Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, Paul's Letter To Ephesians, and the Letter of James There is a stress on identifying and dealing with vices that involve anger, but also on developing virtues of Patience, Humility, Mercy, and Forgiveness. They also adopt, develop, and discuss a number of useful practices for lessening, understanding, or dealing with anger.

Marriage is the exclusive, lifelong, covenantal union of love between one man and one woman, and a reflection of the faithful love that unites God and his people.

Jesus Followers “also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation" While We Are Still Sinners MESSAGE SUMMARY: No one, including you, can separate you from the love of God. While we were and are still sinners, Jesus the Christ died for us. God loves you exactly where you are; God loves you no matter what you said about Him; and He loves you no matter what you have done. In Romans 5:8-11, Paul confirms God's unconditional love for us: “but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, I now take a deep breath and stop. So often I miss your hand and gifts in my life because I am preoccupied and anxious. Grant me the power to pause each day and each week to simply rest in your arms of love. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 132). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit's fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).
