Good Morning “Lie Detectors.”  Today we are in Psalm 91.  It’s fitting that we “coincidently” find ourselves in this passage on the Saturday before Resurrection Sunday.  Jesus was in the tomb, but not for long.  Maybe the language in this Psalm sounds familiar?  There’s a good reason for that.  We’ve studied parts of it when we were in the New Testament.  Check it out… Jesus refers back to the mos...  Read More

Good Morning “Pray-ers Without Ceasing.”  Today we are in Psalm 86.  Here is another one of more than two dozen of David’s Psalms, in which he is pleading for relief from his enemies.   Some things to note from this Psalm:- God never tires of hearing our prayers… even the same ones.  Think about it… would He have included more than 2 dozen similar pleas from David in Psalms if He did?  Perhaps eve...  Read More
