Do you approach your Bible study with boldness and expectation? Psalm 119:121-128 reminds us to long for God’s salvation like a kid waiting for the ice cream truck—knowing something good is coming! Join me as we explore how to love God’s Word, hate what’s false, and live out His truth boldly in our relationships and church community.
The Heritage that Matters
My father’s love for God’s Word is the greatest heritage he passed down to me and my sisters. Through his teachings, and with the encouragement of Pastor ‘Jack’ John MacArthur, we learned that Scripture isn’t just something to read—it’s a living guide that shapes our lives. This legacy of faith is truly the heritage that matters most….
Hope, Hate, and Holding On
I don’t think any of us would describe our faith as “double-minded” but maybe we can be. We’re taking a look at Psalm 119 to help us check our heart and look for any possible double-mindedness. Wholehearted commitment to God’s Word – no wavering. That’s what we want. Unwavering faith, hope in God’s promises, and seeking His support.

Do I Take God’s Word Seriously?
The post reflects on Psalm 119:105-112, emphasizing the importance of God’s Word as guidance and a heritage. The psalmist’s oath to keep God’s rules highlights a deep commitment. It encourages readers to take Scripture seriously, suggesting practical steps for deeper engagement and inviting them to the “Dwelling Richly” podcast for further exploration.
SGYA: “The Dead Rise First?”
The post addresses a perceived contradiction between 1 Thessalonians 4:16, which says “the dead in Christ shall rise first,” and 2 Corinthians 5:8, where Paul states “to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.” It clarifies that when believers die, their souls are immediately with Jesus, but their bodies await resurrection at Christ’s return.
