Psalms 69 – Lessons from Suffering

Psalm 69 is kept in Scripture not as antiquarian reading but as practical instruction for how God’s people are to live through seasons of pain, rejection, and trial. Read two ways, it teaches two things at once: how suffering shapes a faithful soul (think David) and how suffering saves the world (think Jesus). Both perspectives are meant to form us—our prayers, our patience, our zeal, and our posture before God and our neighbors.

Luke 22 – Judas, What Did You Do?

Luke 22 is not a fable. It is a dated, deliberate account of a week in history when the plot to kill Jesus was hatched and carried out. The Passover was in the city. The crowds were present. The institutions and the religious leaders who should have recognized the Messiah instead conspired to silence Him.
