Mercy is loving kindness toward someone without regard of merit or judgment. God’s mercy is manifested in our salvation, healing and help in any desperate situation. As God is merciful we too, are to be merciful. And, be encouraged that we can trust the Lord for mercy in any time of need.

Gone Astray
Ever found yourself pounding your chest, leaning in hard, mouth wide open, barking, "I'm RIGHT!" You're WRONG! I think that certainly describes the times we are in as a people and as a nation.

Warrior & Righter of Wrongs
We will conclude our study of Psalm 68, looking at the remainder of the psalm verses, 19-35. David, in this hymn sung during festival gatherings of the nation of Israel, reminds his people what their God has done on their behalf from the promise made to Abram, to their entrance and occupation of the Promise Land! David through prayers, praises, thanksgiving and oracles from the Lord points to Israel's God as "Divine Warrior" and "Divine Vindicator." This has not changed, God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Church He remains the God who fights on our behalf and He alone will vindicate wrongs and set things right.
