The death of Charlie Kirk has hit hard all across this country. Join me for 6 minutes as we apply some ancient wisdom to our current situation.

We'll even hear from Alan Paton's Cry the Beloved Country to give a voice to the idea that we are all in this together. If this is "the heaviest thing of all your years," or even just a curiously heavy thing, then this is worth your consideration.

Democrats and Republicans might just have common ground to meet upon. Please join me now as we find it together.

As this video goes out, it will find those who are crushed of spirit. It will land upon those who are brokenhearted. If that is you today, the Lord has a sweet gift for you today in Psalm 34.

As I think of it, brokenheartedness is to be distinguished from rebellion. Rebellion is giving God the middle finger. Brokenheartedness is reaching out to God with all our crushed fingers. The Lord promises a precious part of the experience of Him: HIS NEARNESS. To my crushed brothers and sisters, may the Lord be NEAR today.

Please listen 7 minutes.

Certain TASTES can bring back the REALITY of a previous experience.

I just experienced that while traveling to Norway. Similarly, in Psalm 34:8, God asks us to TASTE and see THAT the LORD IS GOOD. God asks us to capitalize on using the gift of tasting to help us remember reality. Join me for 7 minutes as I remember some of the tastes of Norway, as well as some of the tastes of Psalms.

What exactly KEEPS you in heaven? How you get there is another question, but we'll address a fundamental question: Upon what reality is your continuance in heaven dependent?

We will find that we desperately depend upon the Dependablilty of God. It is upon one particular feature of His Character that KEEPS you in heaven on day 10001. List 7 minutes today to find out about that day. Then subscribe if you are not going to heaven later today.

The WHAT SHOULD I BE DOING is relatively straightforward in Ps100: making noise, serving, coming, and knowing a few things.

The HOW of the actions are the real challenge: Make the noise joyfully. Serve gladly. Come Singing. Know accurately. Enter thankfully. Approach with Praise.

Ps100 is about the DOING and the HOW of doing. Listen 7 minutes to get you started on the right attitude. Continue in the right attitude by subscribing on YouTube.

The Bible does not promise an untroubled life, but without Him

The outcome would have been different

The journey would have been different

The company would have been different

We have in psalm 124

the Lord ON our side (HE’s FOR us)

and AT our side (He’s with us)

during real problems (He’s actually helping us.)

If the Lord was not on my side..

I was in big trouble and the Lord was at my side. If He had NOT been at my side, I would have still been in the troubles, but I would have been there ALONE.

The presence of bad circumstances and bad people does not indicate the absence of the presence of God. Join me for 7 minutes to think about this. Then subscribe.
