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.

This is not what the Bible teaches. In fact, it teaches just the opposite. Look at Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.” I do not know anything in a ...read more

50 cents for anyone who can tell me what book comes before or after the book of Ruth. The book of Ruth sits in a very interesting place in Biblical history.
