The Benefits of Praise
July 29, 2017 • Dan Mundt
Psalm 147:1 "Praise the Lord! How good to sing praises to our God! How delightful and how fitting!" A praising community brings transformation. The psalmists approach GOD in HIS GLORY, yet still their humanity is allowed to bleed through. So what we get are writers who are like you and I in the highest of highs and the lowest of lows–yet, they have the presence of mind to recognize Who GOD is and respond to it appropriately, anchored in the HOPE only GOD can give.
Good Ol' Fashioned Revival
July 22, 2017 • Chad Garrison
Revival...a renewal of interest in something that results in its becoming popular once more. Psalm 103:2, "Let all that I am praise the LORD; may I never forget the good things he does for me." Renew: the process of bringing somebody back to life, consciousness, or full strength. Psalm 85:4 "Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us!" Refocus: the recovering of life, consciousness, or full strength. Psalm 145:15, "The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it." Rise Up: a new interest in religion, or the reawakening of such interest Psalm 90:16, "Let us, your servants, see you work again; ket our children see your glory." The psalmists approach GOD in HIS GLORY, yet still their humanity is allowed to bleed through.
