“Those do well that pray morning and evening in their families, those do better that pray and read the scriptures, but those do best that pray and read and sing the psalms.” - Philip Henry, Matthew Henry, The Life of Philip Henry, p. 75

Psalm 83

1 Do not be silent, God,
or unresponding!
Do not remain at rest,
O Mighty One!
2 For now Your foes arouse and
make a clamor;
Your bitter enemies lift up
the head.
3 Against Your people now they
they plot in secret;
They meet to work against Your
hidden ones.
4 They say, “Let us go up and
end their nation.
The name of Is-ra-el shall be
no more!”

5 Together they conspire in
deadly earnest;
Against You they have made
a covenant.
6 The Ish-mael-ites are there,
the tents of Edom,
The men of Moab with
the Hagarenes.
7 See Gebal, Amalek, with men
of Ammon;
Behold Philistia and them of Tyre.
8 For Ashur too has come and joins
their forces;
They are the pow-er of the sons
of Lot.

9 Treat them like Midian,
like Jabin’s army.
Treat them like Sisera at Kishon’s
brook.
10 At Endor they were all
annihilated,
And they became as dung upon
the ground.
11 Like Oreb make their chiefs, Their
lords like Zebah!
12 Who thought they would possess
the land of God.
13 My God, O make them be like
whirling dustclouds;
Make them like bits of chaff
before the wind.

14 Like fire that burns the woods,
like flames of lightening,
15 Pursue them with Your storms
and strike with fear.
16 Fill up their faces with
humiliation,
And let them seek Your name,
Jehovah, then.
17 Let them be terrified and
shamed forever,
And let them be dismayed and
be destroyed!
18 Let them know You alone
You are Jehovah
You are the One Most High
o’er all the earth.

Jonathan, I think this is an excellent site, very well laid out and pleasing to the eye. The article on the Sovereignty of our God in regard to the US election, I say Amen! to it. If we and our church cannot rest our lives and our future on a Sovereign God, then may God have mercy on us! SL

“Always preach in such a way that if the people listening to you do not come to hate their sin, they will instead hate you.” - Martin Luther to Philip Melanchthon

Go for it Pastor Thomas… slay the Hydra of antinomianism
and expose the vipers who promote it.
