Is anyone good enough for God? That's a question lots of us probably ask. Often, we probably think we're not good enough. Depending on what we read in the Bible, that conclusion is easy to confirm. And yet, it's wrong. Very wrong ...

David seems to create an impossible scenario in Psalm 14. In one verse he writes, All have turned aside - meaning all have turned away from God. And yet, later he also writes, God is present in the company of the righteous. How is this possible? ...

Can we honestly believe that God is good even when He says, wait longer? Psalm 12 looked at God telling us to, in today's terms, hang in there. Now, God's saying wait longer. Really? And on top of it, we're still supposed to say, God is good? Yes! Absolutely! 'Cause ...
