1. This is not a drill... We return to Patrick Henry Reardon's book, Christ in the Psalms. In this episode, we consider Psalm 6 and the very real, earthly effects of God's wrath, along with political bookends.
  2. My God can beat up your god... The second part of our discussion of Christ in the Psalms, by Patrick Henry Reardon. What is the temptation when Christians assume that our enemies are God's enemies? How do we pray for and against ourselves at the same time? What's happened to our piety that we are afraid to make demands of God?
  3. Why Christians are commanded to pray down curses upon their enemies. This episode, Christ in the Psalms, by Patrick Henry Reardon. What's an imprecatory psalm? Why are we taught by Scripture to pray imprecatory psalms, but have largely excluded such prayers from our churches? How does psalm 5 point us to Jesus and culture simultaneously?
  4. Walking on water is what we need. Jesus does it. We got baptism. Float through it all as the Modest Mouse song says!
  5. Throughout the centuries and throughout earthquakes, famines, kingdoms falling and rising, God's Word has moved forward. Picking up pieces, people, lives, sins, and hopelessness only to turn them into diamonds through His Grace!
  6. When we are suffering persecutions, falsely accused and battling our own emotions, the truth of His grace is greater than anything that can attack us, including ourown thoughts.
  7. Asking God to be gracious to me, because my enemies are trampling on me.
  8. The Psalm is written in the cave, referring to the time David was hiding from Saul and his soldiers.
  9. David states a very bold accusation that God has rejected and abandoned him. The land is quaking, shaking and full of tragedy.
