Our nation is at a crisis mode right now. Our nation needs a free church, unshackled and unfettered. We must embrace our position as servants of the One enthroned in heaven and ask for mercy. We live in a world that flies the freedom flag and speaks eloquently of liberation, but scorns the wisdom of service. They refuse to look up – and consequently do not receive God’s mercy. They call themselves free but find themselves, once again, victims of oppression. Yes, we are servants, but we’re the freest people on earth. So, it is time for the church to act…to call out oppression wherever we find it – from Hollywood to D.C.
The Bible begins with a journey. “By faith Abraham…set out for a place that he was going to receive as an inheritance. He went out, even though he did not know where he was going. By faith he stayed as a foreigner in the land of promise, living in tent…he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God.” (Hebrews 11:8–10, CSB)
Abraham never found the place for which his heart longed and his soul yearned while he was alive.
Life is a journey. Each oasis we find in the desert ultimately fails to satisfy. We live in tents…but the city we desire remains just out of reach.
We’ll going to look at the Psalms in order to investigate what we need to reach that city.
