Saints In The Complaint Department Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 5, 2021

The God who built us this way is telling us by these negative Psalms that we have to get rid of the poison or we will have a breakdown. Our health on all levels: physical, mental, and spiritual, depends on our being able to remove the pollution from our inner life.
