A quote from Karl Barth

This is for Pastor Joe L; keep up the awesome work man.

A quote from Karl Barth:

"...God is nowhere present for us, nowhere present in the world, nowhere present in our realm and in our time as in His word; that this word of His has no other name and content than Jesus Christ and that Jesus Christ for us is nowhere in the world to be found as new everyday except in the holy scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. About this we in the church are unified or we are not in the church."

Psalm 9:13-20

Psalm 9:13-20

God’s Deliverance Makes My Heart Sing

Psa 9:13  Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 

Psa 9:14  That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. 

Psa 9:15  The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. 

Psa 9:16  The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 

Psa 9:17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. 

Psa 9:18  For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. 

Psa 9:19  Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. 

Psa 9:20  Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.
