But as followers of Christ, there are many situations in which we must waive the exercise of those rights for the sake of the gospel. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he takes a deeper look into the Apostle Paul’s instructions on the matter.

It’s been called “a little masterpiece” and an “admirable little ode”, but it’s also a psalm of God’s power and His might.

Join us next time on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice as he examines Psalm 114…and discover what makes this short Psalm so special in the eyes of God’s people.

Of all the questions on the minds of Christians, which do you think would be the most often-asked?

If then David calls Him Lord, how can He be his son? With that familiar question, Jesus turned the tables on the Pharisees and religious leaders who were trying to trap Him with questions of their own. Next time, on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we’ll begin a study of Psalm 110, and a statement David made that Jesus used as a question to baffle His enemies.

David’s cursing of his enemies has always been a problem for the Christian. Jesus teaches us to turn the other cheek, and not seek revenge. How then are these Psalms of David to be understood in light of our Christian sensibilities? Next time, on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice we’ll be studying Psalm 109, the last of David’s Psalms of revenge, a psalm of which it’s been said, “in the awfulness of its curses, (it) surpasses anything of its kind.” To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/81/29?v=20251111

In difficult times we draw our strength from familiar passages of Scripture. They comfort and encourage us in time of need. King David did likewise, and drew on the Word of God for help and encouragement in the face of seemingly impossible odds. Next time, on The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice, we’ll be studying Psalm 108, a Psalm that draws from previous Psalms documenting God’s faithfulness, and a psalm from which David drew his comfort.

Remembering is important to our God…perhaps, because His people so easily forget His faithfulness. While God never forgets us, we tend to quickly put Him aside. Dr. James Boice studies Psalm 105, and reminds us that “everything begins with God”…and it’s to Him we owe our thanks.
