Jesus Creed

Not only is God revealed as “teacher” in Psalm 119:113-120, but God is also the protector in v. 114. The psalmist uses two concrete images for God’s protections:

Dear Emily, Your questions are so well put I thought I’d just enter them into this letter back to you. You write:

Here’s a podcast interview I had at Pepperdine with Jerry Rushford. Thanks to Rick Gibson for his fine work on this. I’m told it is on iTunes — and those who know what that means will know what that means (to ape Yogi Berra).

This week we turn to Psalm 119:113-120 (samek), where every verse begins with the letter samek. This paragraph in our psalm will be opened through the window of what it says about God. And the first thing it tells us about God is that God teaches.

Two of our readers and parts of the Jesus Creed blogfamily, Ben and Lisa Pennington, need our urgent prayers. I met Ben in Rochester last fall when I was speaking at Crossroads. He coordinated an event at his bookstore, and I found him to be a warm, caring heart with a love for the Lord…

It’s time to begin some Saturday fun: we’ll call it Dugout Wisdom. The pitchers and catchers are now starting to pack their bags for Spring Training; our son is about to begin his season of scouting. The weather here is still bitter cold, but just thinking about the ivy on the walls at Wrigley will…

I’ll be in Denver Colorado at the Adam’s Mark for the Covenant Midwinter meetings Tuesday and Wednesday — one day on atonement and another day on prayer. The next week I’ll be down in New Orleans.
