Godless Communism

Why are Christians even entertaining the ideas of Karl Marx? The man was a slob and is at least partially responsible for the most horrific crimes against humanity.

Psalm 5:8-12

Psalm 5:8-12

The Reliant on God and the Rebellious to God

Psa 5:8  Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. 

Psa 5:9  For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue. 

Psa 5:10  Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. 

Psa 5:11  But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that love thy name be joyful in thee. 

Psa 5:12  For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.

Psalm 4: A Bedtime Communion with God

Psalm 4

A Bedtime Communion with God

Psa 4:1  To the chief Musician on Neginoth (Or Stringed Instruments), A Psalm of David. Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 

Psa 4:2  O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah. 

Psa 4:3  But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. 

Psa 4:4  Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah. 

Psa 4:5  Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD. 

Psa 4:6  There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us. 

Psa 4:7  Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. 

Psa 4:8  I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only makest me dwell in safety.

Isolation - Mind Field (Ep 1)

This is fascinating. I think they make a great case for the fact that isolation is a terrible torture. There is good reason why God did not institute prisons in His law. Imprisoning people is not the way to help them socially. Imprisoning people actually makes things worse not better. Restitution is God's way of dealing with theft. My heart goes out to the man that they show in here that was imprisoned for 16 years. Wow, that was terrible.



Exo 22:1  If a man shall steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it; he shall restore five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.
