Micah starts it off by admitting he stole from his momma. And it just kind of goes downward from there. I ran across it this week and learned some

Psalm 117

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

“It is not only the shortest psalm in the collection but also the shortest chapter in the Bible” Alter, 414; Longman, 398. It is 27 words in the NASB and 28 in the ESV. In Hebrew it is only 17 words. “Many Hebrew mss.attach it to Ps. 116 ….Other Hebrew mss. join the psalm to Ps. 118 ” Allen, 117. The basic structure of a song of praise is simple. It begins with a call to praise (vs. 1). Then the word translated for or because introduces the reason for praise ( lines 1 and 2 of vs. 2). Last, there is a final call to praise (line 3 of vs. 2). “Underlying this invitation is the conviction that th

DOGS: Filth and mercy. "The Call of the Wild." Barking. Action Pups.

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! It’s all animals this month, and we’re starting with my favorite – the one that’s most likely to defend me if I’m attacked, and least likely to eat me when I’m dead. This week we’ll discuss how the Bible does not love dogs nearly as much as I do; how the wolf inside every dog is there looking for a chance to get out; how my dog communicates with me, and how she can teach me to communicate with humans; and how the story your dog tells can bring you victory at the game table.

Psalm 116

Tommy Peeler · Carefully Examining the Text

A few notes “The Septuagint and Vulgate treat this as two psalms, the second of them beginning at verse 10 (but some Heb. MSS make a similar break after verse 11).” Kidner, 407. “He has come now to the temple to tell the whole assembly what has happened, and to offer God what he had vowed to Him in his extremity” Kidner, 407. “The situation was one of deadly threat (3, 8, 15), brought about by human deceitfulness (11) and personal lack of discernment (6)” Motyer, 563. “Either the psalmist has been delivered from what appeared to be a fatal illness (vss. 2, 8) or from false accusers (vss. 10-11

BEASTS, part 2: with Josh Collier and Steven McCrary

Hal Hammons · Citizen of Heaven

Register your feedback here. Always good to hear from you! We are back with part 2 of my talk with Josh Collier and Steven McCrary — two “beasts” in the absolute best sense of the word. Josh preaches for the church of Christ in Joliet, Illinois; Steven for the Golden Springs church in Aniston, Alabama. The talking beasts in the Narnia books start the conversation going on the topic of rising above our base nature. For fun, try to keep track of all the fantasy franchises these three geeks sub-reference in a single conversation. Hal Hammons serves as preacher and shepherd for the Lakewoods Drive
