MENGENAI EPISOD INI
There’s an old-timey word I (Jonathan) like a lot… “comeuppance”. It is literally derived from the idea of “coming up” in front of a Court or Judge and getting “what’s coming to you”. It’s why I’m a sucker for things like the Reacher TV series and books. Every week, some bully is getting punched in the nose. It’s very satisfying.
That’s not necessarily something I’m proud of. More on that later.
In numerous places in the Psalms, you’ll read some pretty graphic details of prayer requests that God might “smash the teeth”, “dash them against the rocks”, “blot out their memory”, or that “hot coals would rain on” their enemies. In other words, a lot more severe than a bloody nose.
How do we reconcile this with the “turn the other cheek” message of Jesus?
Some may ask why these verses are even in the Bible at all. It could all use a bit of unpacking, but it may end up raising an unexpected question.
Am I actually angry ENOUGH?

It’s a dichotomy as old as humanity itself. We’ve been wrestling with this since Job. God is Good (“all the time”), and yet bad things… ugly things do happen in this world. They happen to faithful Christ followers.It’s a theme that comes up again and again in the Psalms, and it’s always address ...
What does it look like to live under a shelter you can’t see — yet somehow can feel — when fear is loud, and danger feels close?Psalm 91 has actually, for thousands of years, been the “go-to” scripture for spiritual battle and deliverance.How do we recognize spiritual attack versus ordinary trou ...
What do you do with your terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad days, the ones where you're not just hurting, but honestly frustrated with God? In this message from the Soul Music series, we look at Psalm 88, the Bible's rawest, darkest prayer, and discover that lament, praying with brutal honest ...
Yes, the Bible says we are CHILDREN of God in the household of faith. It is even accurate to say we are SERVANTS of God - we’ve been bought through the very blood of Christ. Of course, we are DISCIPLES of God, following in the model of Jesus Himself. We’re called heirs, workers, ambassadors, ...
How are we going to talk about the Psalms all summer without talking about its primary emphasis: Praise!And not just a reverent, intellectually focused, “polite” praise, but according to Psalm 150 (among others), a rip-roaring, “bring the noise”, boisterous kind of praise. The kind where King Da ...
