I was particularly drawn to verse 10 where Scriptures say that the mysterious plan of the Lord to demonstrate His wisdom through the church for heavenly authorities, good and evil. This highlights the continued existence of spiritual warfare underlying our principles and everyday decisions.
Psalm 119 is the longest poem in the Book of Psalms. It has 22 stanzas of 8 lines each giving a total of 176 verses. It has 22 stanzas because there are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Many English versions will put the name of the Hebrew letter above each stanza (e.g., Aleph, Beth, Gimel). That means each of the eight lines of a stanza begins with the same letter of the Hebrew alphabet as the author works through the entire alphabet.
The author could be King David, but the author seems to be a younger man, because he says he has more understanding that all his teachers (119:99) and the aged (119:100), since he meditates on God’s testimonies and keeps God’s precepts. Maybe that is why he asks the question: “How can a young man keep his way pure” (119:9a)? Although he now memorizes God’s instructions so that he might not sin (119:11), he confesses “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your word” (119:67). The circumstances of the psalmist are persecution (119:84-87) and desire for salvation and comfort (119:81-82). He complains, “I have become like a wineskin in the smoke” (119:83). The image is of a wineskin becoming so dried out and brittle that it is in danger of perishing. In the midst of his difficulties, he hangs on to God’s faithfulness and steadfast love (119:88, 90), and he is sustained in his trials by God’s word.
Personally, after reading this chapter a few times, I now see a real person in the ups and downs of life, who hangs on to God by reliance on God’s word.
Psalms 119 was read from the New Living Translation

What is Critical Theory?
The first principle splits society into two social groups of the “oppressor” and the “oppressed”. This was in large part borrowed and developed Karl Marx. You might often hear critical theory also called “cultural Marxism”.
The second principle of critical theory centers on the existence of hegemony. Hegemony is when the oppressor use their power and influence in the realms of politics, society, and culture to dominate the oppressed group. This is popularly and simply known as systemic oppression.
The third principle presumes that knowledge and truth be centered around an individual’s lived experience and group identities. This empower the oppressed groups with special knowledge typically unavailable to the oppressor groups. This makes the oppressed group better situated to speak to issues of injustice and disparity. Conversely, it should also be noted that according to critical theory, the oppressor groups will use the idea of objectivity to downplay lived experience and keep oppressed groups marginalized.
Lastly, critical theory seeks to “liberate” and “emancipate” oppressed groups from their oppressors. This could happen in several ways, but typically it occurs on a spectrum between two scenarios:
In general, critical theory doesn’t merely seek to explain how society operates but also seeks to achieve liberation.

Eternal security, also known as "Once Saved Always Saved" (OSAS) is a centuries old discussion on the nature of salvation. The understanding of salvation remains unresolved and have divided denominations into doctrinal camps. In this series, join me on a journey that will explore the temporal and eternal perspective on salvation. This episode will explore Scriptures that depict the super nature of Salvation and also more pertinent questions. I also share some more of my insights on eternal security.
