Psalm 97

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

This psalm calls the earth to rejoice that the LORD reigns The fact "the LORD reigns" ( Ps. 93:1; 96:10; 97;1; 99:1 ) or God is King ( Ps. 95:3; 98:6) is emphasized repeatedly in the psalms through this section. 97:2 The LORD dwells in thick darkness- Sinai- Exod. 19:16-19; 20:18-21; Deut. 4:11-12; 5:22; Heb. 12:18. Solomon's prayer stresses the same in I Kings 8:12; II Chron. 6:1. Sometimes the Bible stresses God dwells in light- Ps. 104:2; I Tim. 6:16. Whether God is pictured as dwelling in light or darkness, the text emphasizes that we cannot see God in all HIs glory- Exodus 33:18-23. 97:3

MAIL: Biblical letters. "The Postman Always Rings Twice." Junk mail. "Between Two Castles of Mad King Ludwig."

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! It’s Reading Month here on the podcast, and I’m taking you down to the mailbox this week to see what lessons we might find there. We’ll discuss the “snail mail” that served the apostles so well in the First Century and that serves us still today – if we read it correctly; a murder scheme that has absolutely nothing to do with the postman or how many times he rings the bell; the blessings and burdens of the envelopes I usually never open at all; and the price I am willing to pay to preach the gospel of board games.

SCI-FI: The Biblical UFO. "Out of the Silent Planet." Proof of alien life. Mission: Red Planet.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We continue Reading Month with one of my least favorite genres. I’ll traverse the galaxy to find a good topic for the podcast if I have to. And this week I have to. We’ll cover what one Bible character did upon seeing a legitimate UFO; C.S. Lewis’s attempt to get us to find Jesus on a different planet; the “proof” of alien life and why no one seems to care very much; and my own “close encounter of the board-gaming kind.” Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive church of Christ in Georgetown, Texas. He is the

S3 E36 - Bidding On A Bracelet

Set Your Mind Above

Send us Fan Mail A few weeks ago my wife and I attended a fundraising event to support the adoption agency Sacred Selections. I had hoped to win a beutiful bracelet for my wife in the silent auction, but I kept getting outbid by someone all night. After a while, I realized something hilarious - my wife and I had been unknowingly bidding against each other! Needless to say, we didn't leave with the bracelet. Well...as funny as that might be, do we realize that a house divided against itself cannot stand when it comes to any kingdom? That includes when we bite and devour each other as the church

My Gilligan's Island Book List

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! In part 3 of the “Books” episode, which aired earlier this month, I asked my guests, Edwin Crozier and Elizabeth Nowlin, to give me their list of books other than the Bible they would want to take with them if they were going to stay indefinitely on a desert island. If you haven’t checked it out, please do, along with the other two parts of the episode. Now it’s my turn. I shared my list live with the Heaven Citizens Facebook group, and now I’m sharing it with you. Enjoy. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Dr
