Ps 27.1-3,13-14 There are times when evil does seem to rule the earth. The greedy seem to prosper, and the selfish seem to rise to positions of authority. Those who truly love God sometimes cannot help but secretly ask themselves if this universe is truly governed by a righteous God. We live under the reign…

Phil 2.6-11 Many Christians are like little children who obey their parents with the hidden purpose of gaining favour so that they may acquire something they desire. The moral wrongness of this kind of obedience lies in its focus; the one who obeys is fixated not on the desires of God, but rather, on the…

*Note: I realized when we allocated the verses for the Lent Meditations we included Sundays … so this series will have more than 40 meditations thus far. I’ve been slow to post them up. So, today I’ll make sure it catches up first. Sorry if it appears to overwhelm at one go. Anyway, Sherman’s writings…

Ps 18.2-7 The furiously jealous king was after his life. Young David was helpless, for the king had his men sent after him. His heart was pervaded with the anguish of fear, helplessness, and perhaps even a sense of hopelessness. But he willed himself, even at such an hour, to depend on the ability of…

Gen 17.3-9 God made a covenant with Abraham and promised to bless his descendents and to be their God (Genesis 17.3-8). It was a covenant that was to be unceasing and perpetually binding. It was God’s instruction that Abraham’s descendents in the generations to come would have to also retain their memory of this covenant…

Dan 3.1-30 These three men were held in high esteem by the king and appointed to high-ranking positions. But it did not take too long before their attitude caused them to fall into the king’s disfavour: they refused to worship his gods (Daniel 3.13-15). Thus began the persecution of the faithful servants of God. We…

Num 21.4-9 God was in the process of delivering the Israelites from Egypt into the Promised Land. He took great care of them by even feeding them to ensure they would not suffer from hunger. But apparently, he provided insufficient luxuries that would satisfy their appetites and gratify their desires. Hence, they complained against God…

Jn 8.1-11 She was caught in a grave act: adultery (John 8.3-5). What a shameful act to have been caught in. They were literally waiting to pound her flesh, for justice had to be served, and the one who had been caught in such a grievous act of sin deserved to be punished; even if…

Sherman is back with his contributions … Jeremiah 31.31-34 They were a people who had forgotten their covenant with the Lord. The sinned against him and adultered their relationship with him (Jeremiah 31.32). But God never forgets a covenant, and he never breaks a covenant. What he promises, he will invariably fulfil. Hence, he renews…

I saw the book at the MPH bookstore that day. I’m glad they made the Mp3s and pdfs available. I was surprised that I found some help in the sessions. Alwyn blogged about it here True Meets Real. Interesting stuff ..
