Psalm 119:17-24
As we continue our series from Psalm 119 on Sunday evenings we come to the third letter in the Hebrew alphabet, the letter gimel, found in verses 17-24. Remember, this psalm is centered on the perfect Word of God. That's why I've entitled this series, Life By The Book. Because we need to learn to live our lives, lead our families, and make our choices based on God's sacred book. And tonight, from Psalm 119:17-24, as we consider what it looks like to have A Life Built on the Word. READ TEXT - PRAY

And almost immediately - - in fact, while he was still on the platform of the suburban station at the end of his return trip - - he met a girl who he had known before he went. She was delighted to see him and asked how he was doing. He told her, ''The greatest thing that could possibly happen to me has happened''. You're engaged to be married'', she exclaimed. ''No'', he told her. ''It's even better ...
