God Is My… (Psalms), 44

 ~ God Is My Refuge, 2 ~

Introduction  ~  Previously from July 16, 2017 through January 6, 2019 ALN posted a series of 60 posts of “Jesus is…,” and now we look exclusively at who “God is…” from the Book of Psalms.  While not a complete list these posts occur are in the same order they are in the Psalms. 

Passage  ~  “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling” (Psalm 46:1-3). 

Prior Passage  ~  “In You, O Lord, I put my trust; let me never be ashamed; deliver me in Your righteousness.  Bow down Your ear to me, deliver me speedily; be my rock of refuge, a fortress of defense to save me” (Psalm 31:1-2).

Myth, 78

 ~ Seminaries Are As Dead As Cemeteries ~

Myth  ~  Like in other organizations or professions there may be some situations where this is true.  But it is certainly not the norm. 

Truth  ~  Good seminaries are where humble men and women of God are not only studying the God as presented in the Holy Bible but also seeking application of what they are learning. 

Purpose  ~  The goal is pass on to other faithful men and women the truth of God’s Word.  A key part of this is training other men and women in the truths and applications contained in the Holy Bible.

Scripture  ~  “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.  I charge you therefore before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom: preach the word!  Be ready in season and out of season.  Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching” (2 Timothy 3:16-4:2).
