Psalm 13:6 I will sing to the LORD, Because He has dealt bountifully with me. I have always loved this verse because it tells of how songs often come from the overflow of our bounty. However this verse is hiding something (actually, it’s only hidden in English). The part where is says “He has dealt [More >>>]
Psalm 22:23 You who fear the LORD, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel! Halal is the word used for praise. It’s used 76 times in Psalms, as well as being used in other places throughout the Bible. It’s where we get the word Hallelujah. [More >>>]
After reading a post by Skip Moen yesterday about worship, I’m hunting for the way that God asked the Israelites to worship Him.

We so often talk about God knowing everything in advance, exactly what will happen and when, but we often don’t follow that to its logical (or rather not-so-logical) conclusion: if God is never wrong and He knows everything I will do in advance, then I have no choice because if I were to choose then [More >>>]
My time in the mornings is often so rushed, and my time in the evenings seems non-existent. Even though I have more time at home (in theory), it seems like there is less and that I’m always running and rushing. Of course, that could be due to the millions of papers I’m trying to grade… Anyway, I [More >>>]
This was posted as a comment on Skip Moen’s blog, but I wanted to repost it here because it clarifies a lot of questions I had/have. Granted, it’s one person’s view and since I don’t know much about the Jewish beliefs (other than what’s in the Bible), I don’t know if it’s perfectly, precisely, 100% [More >>>]
