1. Godly, upright in heart, righteous. Sinful, sorrowful, wasting away.
  2. Craig and Troy love Psalm 51 because of the truth it speaks: we are sinful, and God is gracious. When God cleanses, we are indeed made clean.
  3. Even from the moment of the Fall, God has never left us without His gracious promise of redemption. God moves first to cover us.
  4. Satan didn't lie, but he told Adam and Eve exactly what would happen. The only thing he didn't say is whether or not they would like it.
  5. We might think of the poetry of the Psalms as a dance between creation and redemption.
  6. The struggle is real. That is to say, the struggle with sin. Can we make ourselves holy? Can we find within ourselves the strength to make it better?
  7. Craig and Troy launch into a new mini-series on their favorite Scriptures . . . the ones that are the central themes of the faith
  8. Pain and suffering; it can feel like punishment from an angry God, and we try to figure out the cause, to our own frustration.
  9. Waiting on God can seem like slow motion torture sometimes.
  10. Peter's profound promises to perfectly protect the progeny of the Padre putter out. Jesus is tormented to His core knowing what He is about to face, but commits Himself for you.
  11. Everyone is stained by sin. Who can stand before God? Who can dwell in His holy presence? Only the one who walks blamelessly.
  12. Psalm 2 ends by describing the state of blessing for those take refuge in God. In this life we are often left to wondering why God, who loves the world so much, is so rejected and hated by so many that He created.
