Psalm 109

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

Some have described this as the longest sustained imprecatory prayer. A Psalm of David 109:1-5 He describes his mistreatment at the hands of others They spoke against him constantly- vs. 2, 3, 4. They lied about him- vs. 2. They spoke words of hatred- vs. 3. He did good to them, but they did evil to him- vs. 5. 109:6-20 He prays that judgment may fall on them. Notice how many of these judgments he requests tie to the concept of lex talionis, the punishment fitting the crime. vs. 6 accuser - They acted as his accusers (vs. 4) so may an accuser stand at his right hand. vs. 7 guilty- This word is

Love Chooses

Love Better

A poem from the 16th century, a sphere with two heads, four arms, and four legs, and the romance of Disney. This week we talk about soulmates. This is the second in a ten-part series on learning to love the Lord (and our neighbor) with all our soul. The soul is that part of you that is eternal. After death, after life, all you will be left with is your soul to carry on into eternity. If you don’t learn to love with all your soul, you won’t have any love left when life is over. Send us Fan Mail "Remember, you are loved, so go, love better!"

SALT: Salted with fire. "Salt: A World History." Salty language. Concordia: Salsa.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! Salt is good. That’s not my opinion; that’s the word of the Lord Jesus. So far be it from me to have a month devoted to food without adding a sprinkle or two. This week we’ll discuss the worst salt there is and how it can be a blessing; the way salt built the Roman empire, from its roads to its army; the impact for ill the navy has had on our language; and the best way to use the salt you might find in your board game collection.

Communication is Key

Kris Emerson · Excel Still More

Reach Out: Please include your email and I will get back to you. Thanks! What is the most important key to a healthy relationship? Specifically, between a man and a woman who profess that they love one another? You might say, "faith." Which is hard to argue with. I address that early in the episode. But even faith, if it cannot be shared well, honestly, and fully, will always be lacking. That's the thing about communication. Getting good at that makes anything and everything possible. And yet, if two people cannot talk, hear, share, or understand, what good is a common belief, even if it is be

S4 E8 - Leaving Obstacles In The Road

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail On my way home from Georgetown, KY the other night, I ran into a bit of trouble...literally. My trip was going off without a hitch, until there was one...literally. Someone had dropped a hitch with a massive drill bit being used as a pin on it in the middle of the road, and didn't see it in time with it being so dark and I hit it. Shredded my tired two minutes from home. That figures. We have to be careful because we could do the same to others, and I don't mean leaving things in the middle of the road. I mean leaving a stumbling block for others. Our actions do not only impac

Episode 205 - "It’s a Foible!"

Ryan Joy · Bible Geeks Podcast

Love Others as Yourself What happens when you expect a friend to never let you down or have a fault? How do we stay steady and reliable in our love for others? Here, in session four of our Two By Two study, we get to the heart of friendship. We work through how we look out for each other — from demonstrating mercy to friends to saying “I love you” without making it weird. We’re breaking out some of Scripture’s greatest hits — like the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) and Paul’s great Love Chapter (1 Corinthians 13) — to apply Christlike love to the people in our lives.

BREAD, part 3: with Ryan Joy and Jeff O'Rear

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! This is the third and final part of my talk with Ryan Joy and Jeff O’Rear. Check the show notes for links to the work they do. What kind of bread should we be serving up to the world? Whole grain loaves? Cinnamon buns? Is there a point in giving them something they don’t want? Is a fat-filled half loaf better than no bread at all? We will search for answers in a game about the size of a credit card. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the host of the Citizen o
