Psalm 57
Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me,
for in you my soul takes refuge;
in the shadow of your wings I will take refuge,
till the storms of destruction pass by.
I cry out to God Most High,
to God who fulfills his purpose for me.
He will send from heaven and save me;
he will put to shame him who tramples on me. Selah
God will send out his steadfast love and his...

Here’s the challenge John Piper issues as he closes his chapter on prayer (chapter 6) in Desiring God:
[O]ne of the main reasons so many of God’s children don’t have a significant life of prayer is not so much that we don’t want to, but that we don’t plan to. If you want to take a four-week vacation, you don’t just get up one summer morning and say, “Hey, let’s go today!” You won’t have...

Notes from sermon last week plus scripture I...
Matthew 5:1-11
From the sermon “Radicals:Their Character” by Brent Reeves.
Jesus calls his followers to be radical-radically different from the secular world and radically different from the nominal church.
Matthew 5:3-6
Radicals think less of themselves. They think of themselves as sinners.
Matthew 5:3

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
“Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for...

I bought an ESV Study Bible today. Already got my online account set up which has everything the hard cover has plus more and comes free with the book.
So far I have all these translations:
KJV, NIV, NASB, ESV, NLT, The Complete Jewish Bible, A KJV-NIV-Greek Interlinear. And I use BibleGateway frequently.
I don’t think there can be too much bible though! :)
Christians burning bibles and christian books?
So I was on Facebook and I get updates from Britt Merrick, when I saw this post.
Wow. This is awesome! Some Christians are gonna burn my book! Along with others’ like John Piper and Billy Graham.http://ow.ly/2IYIM So cool!
So obviously this church has decided that any version but the King James Version is evil. So they are going to burn these along with many books by christian authors....
