One day this week as I was reading my Bible, a verse jumped out at me, leaping right off of the page and into the daily news: Romans 13:1 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the…
In consequence of man’s condemnation to mortality, the people of the world are constantly dying, only to be replaced by new babes being born. This means that what the world will look like in a few years, in terms of the people who inhabit it—their ideas, goals, beliefs—will be determined by the children born today, not the adults perishing tomorrow.

Our culture has entered a steady descent into depravity, which the church has not been able to stop.

There is therefore much wisdom that we can gain from…
Today I’d like to announce the start of a new pilot program, Operation USA. This operation will focus specifically on reaching out to the church in the United States of America. Although The Psalms Project is intended to be a worldwide mission, it is natural for it to start with the US. One obvious reason is because that is where I live.…
