A Heart For God

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2015

Psalm 19 has been called the most majestic of David’s Psalms. It falls into two main sections dealing respectively with Creation and Covenant, with an application to follow. These seemingly distinct parts form one unified, progressive whole.

Scourge Of The Tongue

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 20, 2020

The tongue is a small weapon. It is a great mercy to be delivered from the tongue. The tongue was originally made to be an organ of God’s praise but it has now become an instrument of unrighteousness. The tongue inflicts greater wounds than the sword.
