Sermons on Modern Parallels:

The Psalm Of The Two Ways

Contributed by Howard Mcglamery on Jan 30, 2003

How can we be sure to establish a God-centered life rather than an ungodly life. Psalm 1 is a description of the wicked and the righteous. It describes both the God-centered life and the self-centered life.
