Hey, welcome to Friday's episode

of the daily Bible podcast,

2

Justin a there fantastic fry.

3

He day.

4

I don't know that one.

5

Well, it's based on manic Monday.

6

It doesn't technically exist, but it

could, if you and I wanted to put out an

7

EAP, pull out some Shane and Shane vibes.

8

I think people would download it.

9

Okay.

10

Okay.

11

Yeah.

12

I don't know that they would, but okay.

13

Fair enough.

14

I think we have enough.

15

Family members to get at

least 10 down, please.

16

At least.

17

At least between my kids and yours.

18

That's 10 right there.

19

That's true.

20

That's true.

21

Hey, speaking of kids, so

my daughter today actually.

22

This is Thursday as we record this, but

she asked me a question about a passage

23

that we recently covered and she found

a discrepancy that we didn't touch on.

24

Oh, is it the number?

25

In a second, Samuel 24

and first Chronicles 22.

26

I believe the difference

in numbers of the money.

27

Oh, the money.

28

Yeah.

29

Oh, If I got that one, the

threshing floor of a Rona.

30

Of arena.

31

In Vernon.

32

Yeah.

33

In first chronic or in second Samuel.

34

Uh, 24, I believe it says that, uh,

David bought it for 600 shekels of gold.

35

In first Chronicles, 2221.

36

It says that he paid 50 shekels of silver.

37

And so there's good job.

38

Any, yeah.

39

Right.

40

I didn't even catch that.

41

Yeah.

42

And so she, she was curious, she

said, dad, what, what, what gives

43

there, which is the right one?

44

So I didn't know, off the top of my head.

45

So I, I went to the ESV study

Bible and, and they had a helpful

46

note on that exact situation.

47

That exact problem.

48

They said it is likely that the smaller

number, the 50 shekels of silver is

49

what the actual threshing floor cost.

50

But David purchased the entire site.

51

At the time, which would have involved.

52

The full land there where the full

temple Mount eventually resided.

53

And so.

54

As a whole cost of 600 shekels of gold.

55

So site versus the individual

threshing floor there.

56

Wow.

57

Good.

58

Good.

59

Any good catch?

60

That was a good kid.

61

I'm proud of you.

62

Hey, my wife asked a

question about selling five.

63

Okay.

64

Do you remember this?

65

She, she was, we read this not too long

ago, but since we're doing, we're doing

66

questions here, she wants to know.

67

Why you didn't answer her question.

68

That she had in her mind and you should

be able to anticipate it basically

69

is kind of what I figured from that.

70

Yeah.

71

She said the inverse in chapter five

of Psalm chapter five, it says that God

72

hates the evil doer, and I'm looking

for it right now because I'm just.

73

Five seven verse, but the boastful

shall not stand before your eyes.

74

You and here's the word

hate all evil doers.

75

So does God love the sinner?

76

We often use that terminology,

hate the sin, but love the center.

77

God hates the sin, but loves to center.

78

That kind of thing.

79

Uh, is that true?

80

And if so, how do we reconcile that

idea with Psalm five verse five?

81

Yeah, you'll notice there's a,

cross-reference there in the ESV back to

82

Psalm 11, verse five, which says the Lord.

83

Test the righteous, but

his soul hates the wicked.

84

So there's a similar concept there.

85

Yeah.

86

Um, yeah.

87

The text is what it is.

88

It means what it means.

89

And there's a, a dual, uh, reality

of the, the love that God has for the

90

lost and yet the hatred God has for

sin and, and those that commit sin.

91

And so.

92

Um, the, the difference being, uh, being

Christ, coming down to Christ, coming

93

down to what, what we do with Jesus, the.

94

Those that are in hell are, uh,

experiencing the hatred of God,

95

his full wrath against them.

96

There, there are there's sin in

hell in the sense that the heart is

97

still rebellious against the Lord.

98

That's part of the weeping and gnashing

of teeth that takes place there in, uh,

99

but the, the wrath is being poured out

on people, not on, not on sin per se.

100

Uh, and so the, the, the idea that

God hates the evil Dewar is, is true.

101

And, but for the grace of God, would

all of us find ourselves standing in

102

that position saying, God hates me.

103

Uh, because of my sin and

the only reason he doesn't.

104

Hate me is because of Jesus.

105

And so there's a, there's a love

that he has for the lost, the love

106

that he has for humankind that

made him send Jesus as the, the.

107

Uh, the, the remedy, so to

speak for our sinfulness.

108

And so, in a sense, it's it's

as though he hates us and yet.

109

I loved it.

110

How great is this love that his love was

even willing to, to pursue us in spite

111

of that, that animosity towards our

wickedness and the evil, that that is

112

part of who, who each and every one of us.

113

Are by nature.

114

Um, and he made a way for us to, to,

uh, be forgiven through Christ, but.

115

Does God hate.

116

Uh, the, the wicked does

God hate the evildoer?

117

Uh, yes.

118

Um, and there's a sense in which

Paul agrees with that when he says

119

we were by nature, children of wrath.

120

Uh, before Christ.

121

And so there's a transfer delivered

from the kingdom of darkness

122

into the kingdom of light.

123

I think all of these things, the

contrast that we see in going

124

from unbeliever to believer.

125

Uh, there is.

126

We can see that as well here.

127

So there is a real sense in which

God does hate the center, but

128

there's also a real sense in which

God does love this inner as well.

129

And we typically will get to that place.

130

When we talk about common grace.

131

Now remind us what common grace

is and how that interacts with our

132

understanding of God's love for

everybody and not just for the Christian.

133

Right.

134

I often think of common grace as rain.

135

I don't know why rain always comes

to mind, but probably because of the

136

scriptures, you use it to say the rain

falls on both the, just and the unjust.

137

And so.

138

Um, that idea of, of provisions that

God makes in our life that we need for

139

our survival, that our evidences of

his grace and in his love and, and.

140

Uh, rightly understood.

141

They're meant to lead us to an

acknowledgement of him and to, uh, an

142

acknowledgement of our need for Christ.

143

Um, when Paul says don't, you

know, that his patience is

144

meant to lead you to repentance.

145

Uh, that patients is that common grace.

146

Um, right.

147

Is kindness.

148

Right.

149

Uh, and, and we see

that kindness all over.

150

God does love the center.

151

Their center's not going to have an

excuse and say, well, you hated me.

152

And therefore I didn't repent.

153

It's not going to be something

that anyone can truly say, because

154

God does show his love for us.

155

Um, he does demonstrate his kindness.

156

I'm looking out the window right now.

157

There's sunshine and there's

grass and there's oxygen.

158

And I mean, it's just a

beautiful day outside right now.

159

Uh, as, as, as it is

right, this very moment.

160

But, I mean, just think about all

the cool things that we enjoy.

161

Laughter and music and tastes buds.

162

I mean, I love cheesecake.

163

I remember at a V for whatever reason.

164

The cheesecake gets card was like the card

to go to when it comes to giving gifts.

165

I think.

166

Maybe that's it.

167

You're right.

168

I mean, I wasn't

complaining by any stretch.

169

I would T I would typically have the

Reese's peanut butter cheesecake.

170

And man, there are a few things that

I think when you taste it, you know,

171

there's a God, that's one of those things.

172

That's, God's kindness.

173

And that's his common grace toward.

174

I mean, you could call that luck.

175

It's a form of his love, although his

saving and specific love for his, his,

176

uh, his flock, his people is different.

177

It is distinct kind of love.

178

Yeah.

179

Yeah.

180

Cheesecake factory.

181

There you go.

182

Folks.

183

Cheesecake factory gift

cards for pastor Ross.

184

Is there anyone?

185

I haven't even seen one nearby though.

186

There is at a.

187

The first Gamal Stonebriar mall.

188

Oh, really?

189

I did not.

190

That's a far way away.

191

Well, it's just not that bad.

192

It's like 30 minutes.

193

Okay.

194

So for pastor rod cheesecake

factory gift cards for Mark

195

Hogan, uh, Einstein brothers.

196

And brothers bagels.

197

And for pastor PJ.

198

He loves Lucille's barbecue.

199

If you will email that to him.

200

God hates the wicked.

201

And he hates Lucille's barbecue.

202

Wicked barbecue.

203

Yes.

204

All right.

205

Let's jump into some selves, man.

206

Let's do that.

207

People are dying to

hear about Psalm 1 0 8.

208

And which line.

209

Well, yeah, that one too.

210

But the, but they're wondering why

someone will eight feels so familiar.

211

Well, Uh, yeah, it's because

this is basically a mashup.

212

Of two Psalms that David

has already penned.

213

We might say it's a remix.

214

We're talking about songs.

215

There you go.

216

Yep.

217

Mashups though.

218

I don't think they call,

maybe they call them mashups.

219

To Samsungs and you bring them together.

220

It's a mashup.

221

Well, it depends.

222

I don't know.

223

I've never heard that Tom, that,

that term used, I've heard like

224

sampling, like you could sample a

song or a medley or worship madly.

225

Okay.

226

Or an overdrive.

227

At samples, all the music

and the whole thing.

228

I don't think that's, what's

true of this song, but anyhow,

229

I'm going to call it a mashup.

230

That's not the best one.

231

It's a remix would be better.

232

All right.

233

Uh, no, no.

234

Cause.

235

No cause the remix is

usually just one song.

236

Uh, mashup involves two songs.

237

That's why it's mashed up there.

238

You take two songs and

you mash them up together.

239

And it's, it's one.

240

I'm going to Google this right now.

241

You start talking.

242

All right.

243

Good.

244

The Psalm of, uh, of David here is,

uh, is just that it's two songs that

245

he's already penned and he takes

portions of those two and he puts them

246

together to create Psalm one await.

247

Uh, and so the first five verses come

from Psalm 57 verses seven through 11.

248

And then the second eight come from

Psalm 68 verses five through 12.

249

And so the result is the Psalm which opens

with worship and then shifts from the

250

air to expressions of confidence in God,

before concluding with petitions for God

251

to deliver them from their present foes.

252

And so you might think, well, why.

253

Did David go back in and grab from these

other two songs that he'd already written

254

and bring them in and in the answer.

255

Because it fit the occasion, he's

doing a remix and a mashup, right?

256

You mentioned, uh, I believe yesterday,

or maybe in today's episode, maybe no.

257

Yesterday.

258

Uh, about the idea of

a new song right now.

259

Oh yeah.

260

There's reasons to sing new songs here.

261

I think we see there's reasons

to visit old salt songs.

262

Fit the context and have truth.

263

That is good for us to be reminded of.

264

And I think David's doing

that here in someone.

265

Wait.

266

On the quick, what's one of your

favorite old songs, old Christian songs

267

that is obviously why worship or CCM.

268

Otherwise you, you choose one

of your favorite old songs.

269

Ah, Like him or I.

270

Any old song old.

271

Whatever in your mind pops up as

one of your favorite old songs.

272

It as well as hard to beat.

273

That's a great one.

274

Yeah.

275

It's a sad one though.

276

What about this?

277

At your Memorial or your funeral?

278

Do you have a preference

for Memorial versus funeral?

279

Assuming your body's

not mangled to pieces.

280

I guess I, I don't, you

don't have a preference.

281

I don't.

282

If I die before you, and we're still

doing this church thing together.

283

Yeah.

284

God willing.

285

Um, I want my body in the

casket, open that casket door

286

and let people see my dead face.

287

Yep.

288

Okay.

289

We're talking about death

on Sunday, actually.

290

I know, that's why it's

on the mind right now.

291

So on top of that, do you have

any songs that you really want

292

at your Memorial slash funeral?

293

Uh, not pop goes the weasel.

294

Yeah, I could understand why

that may not be the most fitting.

295

No, there's a real

floating around out there.

296

That song plan.

297

oh man, that's awful.

298

That's so bad.

299

Is there not a song that you're like,

oh, I got to have this song there.

300

I, again, I, it is, well, I

just think you want that one.

301

So good, just because it is,

it can be sad, but it ends

302

with such a triumphant note.

303

Yeah.

304

Right.

305

It's true.

306

Um, it's true.

307

You have to go to the valley.

308

Before we get to the mountain, right?

309

And it's in the gospels there.

310

Yeah.

311

Um, Yeah.

312

Um, our sins nailed to

the cross, you know?

313

The triumph, the return of Christ.

314

All of it.

315

Is there.

316

Wrapped up in that song.

317

I just think it's, it's such a good one.

318

You're going to hate this,

but the first time I've ever

319

heard it as well with my soul.

320

Guess who I heard it from.

321

I don't know, because I didn't grow

up in a church where we did hips.

322

We did a lot of CCM.

323

But details.

324

No.

325

No, I didn't, I don't want any,

I grew up watching video sales.

326

We didn't have a technically

Christian household.

327

Uh, it was an audio adrenaline.

328

Okay.

329

I audio adrenaline's

version, which was really.

330

For audio adrenaline.

331

I do too, but I think most people

would be shocked and appalled.

332

Oh, you didn't grow up singing

this song and that, no, I didn't.

333

Yeah, it wasn't played on the harpsichord.

334

I was not late on the harpsichord.

335

When I have my Memorial slash

funeral, if my body's not

336

mangled, I want to give me Jesus.

337

But if your body is

mangled, not gimbal Jesus.

338

Well, no.

339

Well, Memorial versus funeral.

340

Gotcha.

341

Okay.

342

I keep on qualifying.

343

I'm tracking that.

344

By the way, if you're listening and

saying, what do you mean by that?

345

Uh, funeral.

346

That's a good clarification.

347

People use them kind of interchangeably

a funeral is when the body is there

348

and the casket is typically open.

349

You don't have to have it open if.

350

But, but typically the bodies

there in the casket is open.

351

Yep.

352

Memorial body doesn't have to be there.

353

Right.

354

It's a Memorial for just the

person body's absence, but the body

355

present is what I'm looking for.

356

I want my body there because

I want people to face death.

357

Look it in the face.

358

Yep.

359

Look at me.

360

And maybe the guy who's painting

my face can make me smile.

361

And keep my eyes open.

362

We're getting into the creepy realm now.

363

So I want my eyes open and

I want to have a smile.

364

Yeah.

365

Let's give someone a nine.

366

Oh, man, you got us.

367

Track bro.

368

I got us off track.

369

Um, someone or nine, a

Psalm of David pastor PJ.

370

It is a Psalm of David.

371

It's an imprecatory Psalms.

372

So it's a judgment Psalm with no clear

contextual setting, at least none that

373

are given a to know much beyond that.

374

Some one to nine eight.

375

If you looked at me as days, be few

and may another take his office.

376

This is quoted.

377

Uh, in the book of acts in acts

one 20 in reference to Judas.

378

Uh, who betrayed Jesus.

379

So as they're looking to

replace Judas, they harken back

380

to Psalm 1 0 9 verse eight.

381

Uh, and talk about

another taking his office.

382

And so in a sense, Judas

is in view here in.

383

And this is prophetic about

his betrayal and then his

384

replacement among the, uh, the 12.

385

Uh, verses one through five.

386

Just generally looking at the

Psalm or David's plight, the

387

situation that he's facing.

388

Uh, versus 60, 20 David's plea for

judgment, which is quite, quite thorough.

389

Um, yeah.

390

Yeah.

391

He does.

392

It's quite thorough.

393

He goes after him.

394

Let's just put it that way.

395

Uh, his children should be fatherless.

396

His wife, a widow has children

wander about and beg seeking food?

397

Yeah.

398

I mean, he's, he's comprehensive.

399

He's upset here.

400

Uh, and then verses 21 through

29, his plead for justice.

401

And then finally in verses

30 through 31, his, his.

402

He's price his worship of the Lord.

403

So, yeah, another one of

those Psalms of judgment.

404

That David is calling down

upon the enemies here.

405

Um, and, uh, again, quite thoroughly.

406

Verse four reminds me of the times

when I feel the need to complain about

407

something or talk about what someone

is some way someone has wronged me.

408

For instance, suppose someone had

their dogs just kind of lay stuff

409

on my mind and never picked it up.

410

I might pray a verse very specific.

411

Just kind of making stuff up in my mind.

412

Nobody would ever do that.

413

No one would do that because what

kind of decent person wouldn't pick

414

up after their animal after all.

415

But in verse four in return

for my love, they accused me.

416

So it's like, I'm giving you good.

417

You're returning evil for good.

418

And that the temptation for

most people is going to be well.

419

I'm going to return evil for evil as well.

420

I'm going to make my, my

lawn, uh, electric electric.

421

Electric fight electrified.

422

That's what I'm trying to go for.

423

I'm going to make sure that

whenever your dog touches my lawn,

424

It gets electrocuted in shocked.

425

To which maybe the person's wife

would say it's not the dog's fault.

426

To which I would say you're right,

but it seems like it'd be the

427

best way to send the message.

428

In this hypothetical scenario.

429

But notice at verse four, David gives

himself to prayer and then what a good,

430

oh God, the response that would be when

we're wronged by someone or something.

431

That the temptation is in

the complaint about it.

432

I'm going to seek justice.

433

I'm going to create my vengeance and my

going to get the response that I want.

434

David goes to prayer.

435

And even though his prayers are a bit

spicy and he does ask for things that

436

we probably would not feel comfortable

asking for, it's still the right posture.

437

I'm going to go to prayer and I'm going

to say, God, please, you do the thing.

438

Help me respond properly.

439

You be my justifier.

440

You'd be the one.

441

Who's my, uh, my, my venge.

442

My Avenger.

443

That's the word I'm looking for?

444

Romans chapter 12.

445

Uh, vengeance is mine.

446

I will repay says the Lord, and that's a

really good posture for all of us to have.

447

I remember also in the midst

of all of this as he's yeah.

448

As he spicy, as he's thorough, as

he's calling down all this judgment,

449

um, It he's referring to himself

and the things done against him.

450

Uh, this is where it's important

to remember David's view of his

451

position as the king of Israel

as the anointed king of Israel.

452

Uh, you remember what

Saul in the cave he was?

453

He was convicted.

454

Because he raised his hand

against the Lord's anointed.

455

He wasn't so much that he loved Saul

or appreciated the character of Saul.

456

It was that he was aware that man,

God put this man in this place and

457

who might've stayed against him.

458

And so as David is saying, Oh, look

got judge all these people for all

459

the things they've done against me.

460

Uh, it's, it's not as much

that David has personally

461

offended by these things though.

462

He, he did personally suffer, but he, I

think was jealous on God's behalf because

463

he understood that he was God's anointed.

464

The God had put him there and all these

people were really challenging God in,

465

in pursuing him and persecuting him.

466

Rather than they were going after.

467

David, how do we know that?

468

Look at verse 21.

469

But you, oh God, my Lord deal on

my behalf for your name's sake

470

because your steadfast love is good.

471

Deliver me.

472

So I hear you saying God,

don't this isn't about me.

473

This is about you.

474

This is about, uh, I'm jealous for your

name and so deal with, with my situation,

475

for your name in the midst of this.

476

Amen.

477

I saw a bumper sticker, not too long

ago with Psalm 1 0 7 referenced.

478

I started 1 0 9.

479

1 0, 9 verse eight.

480

And it said, pray for your president.

481

Just throwing it out there.

482

I'm not saying you

should do that, but yeah.

483

Pray for your presence.

484

All right.

485

On that note, someone 10, God bless Texas.

486

Right?

487

Someone 10 is a, is a messianic Psalm and

capital M capital E capital S S I a N I C.

488

This is, this is a messianic

Psalm through and through.

489

And it's one that, uh, that speaks

to the coming Messiah, the coming.

490

A savior.

491

Uh, right off the bat in verse one, the

Lord says to my Lord, sit at my right hand

492

until I make your enemies a footstool.

493

Um, this is quoted by Jesus

himself in Matthew 22 verse 44 to

494

point out that the Messiah would

actually be greater than David.

495

When Jesus says, how was it

that he says of his, of his

496

offspring, of his descendant?

497

Ah, how is it the calls him Lord.

498

And so Jesus is there establishing his

identity in conflict with the Pharisees.

499

We've seen some of that.

500

So much of that in the gospel of

John, but in Matthew, he quotes

501

this verse specifically, uh, verse

four, he says the Lord has sworn

502

and will not change his mind.

503

You are a priest forever

after the order of Mel Kizzy.

504

, this is going to be picked

up by the writer of Hebrews.

505

In Hebrews one, verse three.

506

Uh, because the, for, for Jesus to

be both priest and king, he couldn't

507

be of the tribe of Levi because

the Levi was not a Royal trap.

508

So we needed to be a

priest by another tribe.

509

And that is the tribe of Milkis.

510

and so we see that in verse four.

511

Uh, Th the, the, the Psalm itself.

512

Uh, only seven verses, but it has so much

richness there as far as anticipating the

513

coming of the Messiah and what he would

be like so important for you in your

514

Bibles to make a distinction in verse one.

515

Uh, you'll miss it if you're

just reading it in English.

516

And so you have to make sure that as you

look at this verse, one is important.

517

The Lord, and you'll

notice capital L O R D.

518

That is a reference to

Yahweh his personal name.

519

So Yahweh says to my Lord, Yahweh says

to my adenai sit at my right hand until

520

I make your enemies, your footstool.

521

And so David is talking about the

Lord and to his Lord, he's talking

522

to Adonai at a nice, says to my

Lord who would be David's Lord.

523

Well, of course, that's the future

pointing to Jesus Christ, the Messiah.

524

So in your Bible at least make a note.

525

L O R D capital LRD Adonai.

526

Excuse me.

527

Yeah, I'll wait.

528

Lowercase L a R D.

529

Uh, add a name.

530

There we go.

531

Yep.

532

Alright, there you go.

533

That's another, uh, that's another

episode in the can a little bit

534

unhinged on your side, pastor PG.

535

Got to tighten it up a little bit.

536

All right.

537

That's it.

538
