Psalms part 1,2, and 3- Come follow me with Sam

 Welcome! This post will cover the next 3 weeks of psalms that we have scheduled. I may add to this as we go through the psalms


Psalms Psalms, what is Psalms?

This week we are going into the Psalms. I found the cfm intro helpful. Most importantly, the psalms are quoted all the time, to my understanding more than any other old testament book, by the Savior. They also hold many keys and insights of richer doctrine.

Some of my favorite Psalms are 


Psalm 23 - the shepherd's psalm

Psalm 82 - also the psalm Christ quoted, speaking of God in the midst of Gods.

psalm 50 - out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined


Feel free to add your psalms to the comments below!

    Psalm 15
    "O Lord, who may abide in your tent? Who may dwell on your holy hill? Those who walk blamelessly and do what is right, and speak the truth from their heart...who stand by their oath even to their hurt...Those who do these things shall never be moved"

    Psalm 25
    "All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his decrees"

    Psalm 31
    "Love the Lord, all you his saints. The Lord preserves the faithful...be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord"

    Psalm 34
    "I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears...When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit"

Acts 22-28 - come follow me with Sam!

 Welcome! Une drole d'Eglise Paul shows how the jewish 'church', their ecclesiastical organization and understanding, is in chaos  - the chief priest, guardian of the law is he who violates the law - the different sects are squabbling amongst themselves, in one moment more eager to persecute paul, in the next moment more eager to prosecute their adversaries' contrary ideas - 40 of them straight up swore an oath to murder. This is deeply badness shizam. - they describe the 'quietness' they so desire and that paul is a 'pestilent fellow' interrupting their serenity. Throughout all of this, Paul is guided by the spirit what he must do.

Bonus! the Simple Gospel of the Way

 Am I writing a Gnostic text? I definitely titled this blog post like one. Maybe we should turn it over to the scholars and ask how close I got. Or maybe I'll be able to ask the gnostics one day. I'd like to share something I am calling the Simple Gospel of the Way. I'm sure many of you have been taught the gospels, the plan of salvation, or something similar to map your vector relation with God. Here is an approach that I hope helps. 1. We are separated from God. (Hopefully no surprises here.) Everything we do is to get back to Him. We are trying to close the separation. We are trying to become One with Him. This is the most important singular concept I can think of. When we understand this, everything else falls into place.  1.1 This is not simply a separation of physical distance. This is a separation of spiritual distance. We are not like our Father, but every part of our being aches to be One with our Father and our Mother, our heavenly parents.  1.2 because the sepa...
