Summer in the Psalms “How To Get Rid of Guilt…Really”
By: Clint McBroom
Series: Summer in the Psalms
Psalm 130
One of the beautiful things about the psalms is how they teach us how to express our feelings to God. Psalm 130 is about the experience of the pit of guilt and shame, and tells us how to truly be freed from both. In contemporary culture, we flee guilt by telling ourselves we've done nothing wrong, but we can't get rid of the shame, the feeling there is something not right about us. Psalm 130 tells us how to be free from both.

But in a time of worship, God gives him an eternal perspective, and sees that the light of eternity, God cares for His people, and will bring them to glory.

Jun 23, 2024Summer in the Psalms, Part 5 – “How Long, O Lord?”By: Clint McBroomSeries: Summer in the PsalmsPsalm 13One of the first laments in the Psalter, Psalm 13 reminds us that the way we are sustained in times of despair and trouble is that we stir up and cultivate the memories of what God has done both in our lives, and in the lives of others. There are indications from Jesus' last words on the cross that Jesus himself did this during His passion, and that it enabled Jesus to be obedient throughout that painful trial.
