Before we start a study on several of the Psalms, let's look at what a psalm is in the Bible
Don’t Run in Church?
There are a variety of ways to show respect to God and His holiness
Conviction and Confidence
The most accurate measurement can only be made against a perfect standard
Not Meant For Sharing
Once we find the true God, there must no longer be any room for others
It Will Return, But What Will It Be Like?
God's glory is always present with Him, so if we seek His glory, we should seek Him
It’s Difficult to Explain
We may have read or heard about God's glory, but can we completely explain it?
Encouragement or Evangelism?
When we hear a word of hope, it's not always meant for only us
A Solution, No Matter What Ails Us
Just because we don't see a solution, doesn't meant that there isn't hope for one
Intact, but Not Really Alive
Not everything that moves around is alive
Sometimes, It’s Best Not to Give an Answer
There are questions meant to inspire us to accept the limitations of our knowledge
“Lean and Mean” vs. “Scrawny and Ticked Off”
There is a point where being "lean and mean" can only take us so far
When Looking Back Isn’t Pleasant
Pausing to consider something uncomfortable isn't enjoyable, but it may be worth the pain in the long run
A More Complete Restoration
When God restores us, it's more than just a little "tweak" to our character
Not Just Another Face in the Crowd
Is our relationship with God just one of many in our lives, or is He the main one?
Worse Than Just Unrighteousness
When Christians engage in obviously bad behavior, the consequences are more than just embarrassing ourselves
Bad Behavior; Bad Consequences
While God's discipline is loving, sometimes offensive behavior merits offensive consequences
Why Do We Have Warnings?
A warning doesn't mean that the outcome is determined. A good warning includes help on how to change that outcome.
Even If They Don’t Repent…
God wants fallen people to return to Him and live, but our role is to share the good news, even if not everyone accepts it right away
You Are the Watchman
The obligations of a watchman weren't merely abstract to Ezekiel, and they aren't to us, either
Being Warned Isn’t Enough
When you learn of an imminent threat to your well-being, does it make sense to sit and wait until it gets closer?
