  • Psalms Psalm
    Cultivate - PSALMS PSALM 126: We now come to the seventh of the "Songs of Ascent," a lovely group of Psalms that God's people would sing and pray together as they journeyed up to Jerusalem. Here in this Psalm they are praying for the day when the Lord would "restore the fortunes" of God's people (vs.1,4). 126 is a prayer for spiritual revival and reawakening. The first half is all happiness and joy, remembering how God answered this prayer once. But now that's just a memory... like a dream. They need to be renewed again. So they call out to God once more: transform, restore, deliver us again. Don't you think this is a prayer that God's people could stand to sing and pray today? Pray it this week. We'll pray it together on Sunday. God is here inviting such prayer; he's even putting the very words in our mouths. PSALM 127: This is now the eighth of the "Songs of Ascent," which God's people would sing on their procession up to the temple. We've seen that Zion / Jerusalem / The House of the Lord are all common themes in these Psalms. But the "house" that Psalm 127 refers to (in v.1) is that of a dwelling for a family. 127 speaks plainly and clearly to our anxiety-ridden thirst for success. How can anything be strong or successful or sufficient or secure... if it does not come from the Lord? Without the blessing of the Lord, our lives will come to nothing.

Christians need to abandon talk about ‘redeeming culture,’ ‘advancing the kingdom,’ and “The church is an outpost of the kingdom of God.” ‘changing the world.’ Such talk carries too much — Dallas Willard weight, implying conquest and domination. If there is a possibility for human flourishing in our world, “When Paul writes that God can do exceedingly it does not begin when we win the culture wars abundantly above all we ask or think (Eph. 3:20), he’s but when God’s word of love becomes flesh in us, not referring to private blessings. He’s writing about reaching every sphere of social life. When faithful God’s abundant power to join people together from presence existed in church history, it manifested mutually hostile histories into a new humanity in itself in the creation of hospitals and the flourishing Christ. The focus here is God’s power to establish of art, the best scholarship, the most profound and a fundamentally different arrangement of social world-changing kind of service and care – again, not dynamics. It’s an arrangement marked by love, grace, only for the household of faith but for everyone.

  • "Peaceful Or Violent Eschatology: a Palestinian Christian
    Peaceful or Violent Eschatology: A Palestinian Christian Reading of the Psalter Recent Psalm studies have rightly moved away from overlooking the intentional order of the final form of the Psalter to studying its theological significance.1 Wilson in particular argues that the fourth and fifth Books (Pss 90-106; 107-145) respond to the problem raised by the first three books (Pss 2-89).2 These first three books point out the collapse of the Davidic covenant while the last two books provide an answer from the perspective of wisdom. Wilson points out that the psalms at the seams of the books are theologically significant. Therefore, theologians should pay more attention to the intentional placement of these psalms (Pss 1-2, 41-42, 72-73, 89-90, 106-107 and 144-145).3 He adds that Psalm 2 is the foundation of Davidic Zion theology, Psalm 72 is a pointer that the promises to David are transferred to his descendants, and Psalm 89 is a lament that bemoans the failure of the traditional Davidic theology. Then he affirms that Psalms 1, 90, 107, and 145, provide a frame in which the sages answer the challenge raised by the first three books. These wisdom Psalms frame the royal Psalms (Psalms 2, 72, 89, and 144) providing a relecture in which the final composition points out that God is the true and lasting King recalling the foundational pre-monarchical faith of Israel and directing the faithful to trust in Yahweh as King, rather than in fragile and failing human princes. Wilson‟s insights are very helpful but he overstates his case.

  • The Spirit of Worship
    THE SPIRIT OF WORSHIP TYLER MILLER 5.11.2014 I. THE WORSHIP GOD IS SEEKING John 4:23-24 “the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Ephesians 5:18-20 “Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, 20 giving thanks always for all things to God the Father …” II. QUENCHING THE SPIRIT OF WORSHIP A. The Spirit of God is grieved in our midst when we step into a critical, religious spirit that seeks to be entertained more than it seeks to encounter God. The Holy spirit wants to liberate our hearts and yet is grieved and quenched by our attitudes about worship. B. This is evidenced by the fact that we can stay fully focused and engaged for yours a day watching our favorite TV shows or on FaceBook, but complain that worship is too long if we sing for 45 minutes corporately one day a week. C. There are many times that the Spirit of God is breathing and blowing through our midst in subtle and yet powerful ways and we cannot even sense that a breeze is blowing. One of the ways that you express love to God is with your strength [Matt.

  • Moral Frailty in Psalm 86
    Zurich Open Repository and Archive University of Zurich Main Library Strickhofstrasse 39 CH-8057 Zurich www.zora.uzh.ch Year: 2015 Law for what ails the heart: Moral frailty in Psalm 86 Lasater, Phillip Michael Abstract: Psalm 86 is a text that displays intertextual engagement with Exodus 32–34 and Jeremiah 30–33, both of which are older than the psalm. In studies of Psalm 86, a neglected issue is its anthropol- ogy, particularly the notion of the »divided heart«, which, according to the psalmist, is an ethical and theological problem that can only be solved by receiving instruction from Yhwh – an instruction that can »unify« the divided heart. By paying attention to the psalmist’s application and reworking of older texts, as well as to the Rabbinic reception of Psalm 86, one can see how this text is part of an exilic and post-exilic conversation about human sinfulness as a flaw in human nature that impairs moral agency. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/zaw-2015-0036 Posted at the Zurich Open Repository and Archive, University of Zurich ZORA URL: https://doi.org/10.5167/uzh-123834 Journal Article Published Version Originally published at: Lasater, Phillip Michael (2015). Law for what ails the heart: Moral frailty in Psalm 86. Zeitschrift für die alttestamentliche Wissenschaft, 127(4):652-668. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/zaw-2015-0036 ZAW 2015; 127(4): 652–668 Phillip Michael Lasater* Law for what ails the heart: Moral frailty in Psalm 86 DOI 10.1515/zaw-2015-0036 Judging from the intertextual activity between Psalm 86 and the earlier text blocks of Exodus 32–34 and Jeremiah 30–33, this psalm likely originated in the exilic or post-exilic period.

  • WEEK 85, DAY 1 PSALMS 74, 77, 79, and 80 Good Morning. This Is
    WEEK 85, DAY 1 PSALMS 74, 77, 79, and 80 Good morning. This is Pastor Soper and welcome to Week 85 of Know the Word. May I encourage you by saying that we are now less than six weeks away from finishing Know the Word? Then you will be able to say that you have carefully and prayerfully read the entire Bible, from cover to cover! That will, I believe, turn out to be one of the greatest and most beneficial accomplishments of your entire Christian life! I can honestly tell you that producing these recordings has been one of the greatest and most blessed accomplishments of my life as a Christian! Well, today we read Psalms 74, 77, 79 and 80. These Psalms are all found in Book 3 of the Psalter. (You will remember that Book 2 ended with the expression at the end of Psalm 72: “This concludes the prayers of David, son of Jesse,” even though several more Psalms bearing his name will be found mostly in Books 4 and 5). We also learned that there are five Books of Psalms, which appear to roughly correspond to the five Books of Moses. I have to confess to you, however, that the division between the five books have always seemed a bit arbitrary to me and I found myself wondering about that again this week. It is true, as some scholars have noted, the Psalms in Book 1 frequently use the name “Jehovah” or “Lord,” while the second Book seems to highlight the name “Elohim” or “God.” It is also apparent, as you may have quickly noticed this morning, that most of the Psalms in Book 3 show some evidence of being “exilic,” that is, they were written after the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonians.
