Two Ways to Live (1 of 9)
Series: God Talks: A Study of the Psalms
Scott Maze
Psalm 1
Some things change. For example, for students are heading off to college this week and are scheduled to graduate in 2013, the following things have always been.
1. They have always been able to watch wars, police riots, and coups unfold on television.
2. The American health care system has always been in critical condition;
3. They have never been amazed that you now listen or watch your TV or radio on the computer;
4. The Oval Office has always had a computer;

Indeed, where we find some of the best information on how to talk with God is found in a book that is around 2,500 years old, entitled the Psalms. Here is wisdom from generations upon generations ago that knows nothing of the technological and economic progress you and I see today. Still, we find substantive wisdom on how we should love and live ... cry and query ... How we can both express our fury and celebrate God's love... And all of this is in the Psalms.
Today signals the beginning of a new series entitled God Talk: A Study of the Psalms. Over the course of the next several weeks, we explore avenues where both our mind and emotions can be authentic with God. Where we recognize that nothing is hidden from His purvey and we can be real with Him.

In all that he does, he prospers.?The wicked are not so, but are like chaff that the wind drives away. Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;?for t ...
