David’s 911 Call For Help! (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 4, 2022

We want to look again at the imprecatory prayer of David in Psalm 35. Anytime a preacher preaches about an imprecatory prayer he has to be careful. He has to be careful because it would be easy to convey to people that we can use God to strike back at our enemies.

One friend decided to trap him. “Do you really believe Jesus turned water into wine?” “Absolutely!” he replied. “For me, He’s turned wine into a ...read more
