Psalm 37 (part 1): have a little God-sense

April 26, 2006 at 8:51 am. Filed under Uncategorized.

You’ve heard of common sense, right? Well, this psalm encourages us to have a little God-sense. It helps us see things the right way, from God’s perspective.

I like how the contrast between the evildoers and God is set up in this psalm. In the first section (verses 1-4), they are introduced, and from the looks of things, they’re a handful. Yet in verse 5, God comes into the picture, and they simply fade away - poof! and they’re gone. Try and [...]

The Truth about the Gospel of Judas

April 21, 2006 at 11:19 am. Filed under Uncategorized.

Here’s a link to that article.
