Our Just God Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on May 13, 2003

Justice is not an external system to which God tries to adhere. He didn’t have to go to law school or get a TV courtroom to learn how to apply the law. His justice comes out of his inner being and is based on His holiness, His truthfulness, and His righ

A Cry From The Heart Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Mar 20, 2003

This psalm is an example of an “imprecatory prayer,” as it contains brutal honesty and an earnest call for God to bring His justice to bear on the wicked.

This morning as we come to Psalm 10 in our series called, “Praying Through the Psalms,” I must confess that I can’t find anything very comical about this cry from the heart.

How do you handle oppositions - people who do not like you, make fun of you, and always coming at you, with or without good reasons. • And worst still, you can’t run away from them; you are called to serve them. That’s Moses’ experience. And that can be our experience ...read more
