PART 3. GOD’S WORD IS ESSENTIAL TO HOLINESS

I grabbed the wrong suitcase.  On a weekend ministry trip, my husband and I with four other students from North Central Bible College ministered in music and preaching at churches in the Midwest. We packed, grabbed suitcases, sound equipment, and headed out.  When we arrived at our room, I opened my suitcase to an unpleasant surprise.  Instead of my items of clothing,  I had grabbed my scrapbook suitcase – pictures, memories, dried flowers, and things from past special events.  Oh, no!  You can imagine my dilemma.  Nothing in that suitcase was essential for looking good on the platform at church.  

PSALM 1, PART 3 LOSS OF WORLD-LOVER, GAIN OF WORD-LOVER!

This entry is part 3 of 3 in the series Psalm 1, Introduction

Psalm 1, verse 4, identifies the World-lovers. Their time is invested in what the world loves.  Psalm 1 describes these World-lovers as chaff that quickly blows away with the slightest breeze.  

Not so the wicked! They are like chaff that the wind blows away.
Therefore the wicked will not (be able to) stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous. Psalm 1:4-5

Our culture, once defined as a Christian nation built upon the principles of Scripture
