12/12/20 A QUICK LOOK AT PSALM 119:1-16

12/12/20 A QUICK LOOK AT PSALM 119:1-16

FROM 11 YEARS AGO
Without compromise, excuse, hesitation or contradiction, Psalm 119 constantly FLIES IN THE FACE OF SINNING RELIGION (as does all of Scripture).

I have stated the intent of Psalm 119:1-16 in the following comment. There is nothing in the entire Psalm or Bible that disagrees with these verses. This represents a little over 10% of the Psalm. Yet, we are constantly told we cannot be faithful, righteous, obedient, pure.

IF THESE VERSES DO NOT REFLECT YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP, EXPERIENCE, WALK WITH GOD, THEN IT IS TIME TO TRADE IN FAILING, SINNING RELIGION FOR VICTORIOUS SALVATION.
REMEMBER, THIS IS NOT A "TO DO" LIST FOR ASPIRING CHRISTIANS, IT IS A "WILL DO" LIST FOR DELIVERED BELIEVERS.
