Day 139: The Cycle of Recycled Revenge (2 Samuel 19-21)

-
Day 131: Why The Pharisees Missed It, and Why We Sometimes do Too (Psalm 20)

Day 129: Living in Lo-Debar (2 Samuel 9)

Day 128: “Our Soul Waits” in Psalm 33:20
“Our soul waits for the Lord.” Shouldn’t it say “our souls wait?” But the Psalmist’s strange wording is intentional: a picture of God’s people united with one soul and one heart before the Lord.

Day 127: Gimme Six Steps (2 Samuel 6)
Why did David stop after six steps when bringing the ark to Jerusalem? Fear? Reverence? Or something else entirely?

Day 121: Men of Isaachar (1 Chronicles 12:32)

Day 312: Does the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats Teach Works-Righteousness? (Matthew 25:31-46)
When Keith Green thundered, “The only difference between the sheep and the goats is what they did and didn’t do,” he captured the urgency of Jesus’ words in Matthew 25.
