Sorry that it has been a full week without posting, I just needed to recharge my blogging batteries. But now we're back, with the most ambitious blogging yet- the Psalms. Not only is the book of Psalms the longest book in the Bible (by a long shot), it is also the most theologically complex. More complex than Revelation, Ezekiel and Jude put together, one might say. Okay, that might be taking it a little far, but the Psalms have some challenging phrases. There are psalms that will seemingly justify all sorts of violent acts, and some will have a shocking view of who God is.
And that's all part of reading the Psalms. Think of the Psalms as the radio station of God's people. For them, there wasn't as big a divide between "secular" and "religious" music. Their songs expressed not only who they saw God as (in the moment), but also what was on their hearts (in the moment). So I hope you will enjoy this journey through the Psalms (which should take no less time than six months), and I hope the journey is one that transforms us and our image of God.
