Psalm: 78:1-39 Meditation Revelation: I have seen the like of this before in Scripture: the fall of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar. The description of the fall of Babylon has been found in virtually every epoch in history – if not to us then certainly to those who lived through it. Take Paris, for example, during the …

Psalm: 78:1-39 Meditation 1 Corinthians: As if to underscore yesterday’s reading in Matthew 5 about sin, the situation here is far more serious and worse: flagrant sexual immorality is rampant in Western society – no one sees anything wrong with it.

Psalm: 78:40-72 Meditation Luke: These verses raise some serious ethical questions. What they do not say is that one can shed his responsibility to himself nor his family.

Psalm: 78:1-39 Meditation James: Most people, at this time (in Jeru-salem) were either agrarian, fishermen, or merchants. The “first fruits” James speaks of are the very early believers who were a promise of a greater harvest yet to come. The birth spoken of in v. 18 is the one “born of the Spirit” the regeneration …
