PURPOSE IN THIS WEBSITE (www.ReadPsalm119.com)
My purpose in creating this website is to highlight this often-overlooked psalm as it points us to the Word of God. In light of this, the blog serves to explore the junction of prayer and practice: learning from God's own heart (his character) and mind what He wills for us concerning the gospel of the Grace of His Son, Jesus Christ, and living that out experientially with others. I pray the resources made available on this site will glorify God and encourage all people, especially those who are already believers in Jesus as the Son of God. "Take up and read" and live. Romans 10 forms the apologetic for this hope. READ FOR LIFE!

The Strong Man of Gadara, Pt. V
The Strong Man from Gadara, once strong in his own strength and in utter despair, has become strong in the strength of the Lord instead. He has life overflowing and eternal security and peace with God. The story of this one man’s healing ends here in one sense, but has this story really ended?
The Strong Man from Gadara, Pt IV
It is impossible, so removed in time and culture, to know what must have gone through the people’s minds when they saw the truth with their own eyes; but we do have a record of their summary reaction. At some point, they saw or heard enough to draw their own immediate conclusion about Jesus. They begged Jesus to go away from them and leave them alone. But why?
The Strong Man of Gadara, Pt III
Let’s pause here to consider the events that have just occurred on the coastal mountainside of Gadara. What exactly is happening in the spaces of time that fill out these few paragraphs in the final acts of this story? What can be gleaned from these inferences?
