"Let my heart be sound in Thy Statues: that I be not ashamed"   (Psalm 119:80).

 

We may regard this inspired prayer as containing within itself the assurance that those who keep close to the Word of God shall never have cause to be ashamed of doing so.

 

See, the prayer is for soundness of heart. A sound creed is good, a sound judgment concerning it is better, but a sound heart toward the truth is best of all. We must love the truth, feel the truth, and obey the truth, otherwise we are not truly sound in God's statutes. Are there many in these evil days who are sound? Oh, that the writer and the reader may be two of this sort!

 

Many will be ashamed in the last great day, when all disputes will be decided. Then they will see the folly of their inventions and be filled with remorse because of their proud infidelity and willful defiance of the LORD; but he who believed what the LORD taught and did what the LORD commanded will stand forth justified in what he did. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun. Men much slandered and abused shall find their shame turned into glory in that day.

 

Let us pray the prayer of our text, and we may be sure that its promise will be fulfilled to us. If the LORD makes us sound, He will keep us safe.

June 19 A Sound Heart

Last week was a devastating time for the 12 tribes of Israel.  Their priests were killed in battle, 44,000 soldiers lost, and even the ark of God was taken by the Philistines and put in the temple of Dagon.  But the story does not end there, God single handedly brings the nation of Philistia to its knees and displays that He is the God of the nations!

This is the second part of my conversation with my dear brother and mentor in the faith Kevin Malcolm.  Tune in as Kevin shares about his desire and struggle to use his love for music and song writing to the glory of God alone and likewise to the edification of the church.  As God has delivered him from the world of drugs, wickedness and the pride of life, God is now shining the light of the gospel through his gifts and talents!

Micah shares  his catechism practice and also about some exciting things happening in life!

Talk with Micah!

In this sermon we look at the third beatitude that Luke records for us which is "Blessed are those who weep now for you shall laugh".  We consider some ungodly forms of sorrow and then also some godly forms of sorrow as seen in the Scripture.
