“The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold on me.” Martin Luther For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything...

A Banquet of God’s Glory: Psalm 119:1-8“Now the main thing is to get the eyes of the people open.

Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in Your law. “Psalm 119:18” BACKGROUND: When most people think of Psalm 119, they do not think of delight; duty maybe, but not delight.
