Back to the Basics

Psalm 15 (MSG)

1 God, who gets invited to dinner at your place?
How do we get on your guest list?

2 "Walk straight,
act right,
tell the truth.

3-4 "Don't hurt your friend,
don't blame your neighbor;
despise the despicable.

5 "Keep your word even when it costs you,
make an honest living,
never take a bribe.

"You'll never get
blacklisted
if you live like this."


Today I was doing my daily bible reading using YouVersion and this chapter in psalms really got me thinking...

It sets the scene as David talking to God asking him how to get to his party

God replies with some very basic yet profound answers

The two main themes that i saw in this text were LOVE, and TRUTH

Both of which we are taught from a young age but we don't practice much

I think that many times we over complicate the kingdom with deep confusing theology and philosophy

I find that often times we confuse ourselves with our own personal philosophies and our own questions about theology

God never told us that we had to be scholar in biblical theology or philosophy

he just told us to LOVE,

I think that we get so caught up in our fancy complicated words and all God wants is for us to practice basic things


Learning to LOVE

Living under HIS waterfalls
