  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

v30 I have chosen the path of faithfulness, I have set Your decrees before me.

v35 Make me go in the path of Your commandments, for that is my delight.

v41 Let Your love descend on me; Your deliverance as You promised.

v49 Keep in mind the Word spoken to Your servant, that which You have taught me to fix my hope.

v57 You are my portion, Lord, I have promised to keep Your Laws.

v65 You have dealt kindly with Your servant, fulfilling Your Word.


Psalms 119:73 Your hands made and formed me, give me understanding to learn Your commandments.

v81 I long with all my heart for Your deliverance, in Your Word, I put my hope.

v89 Your Word is everlasting, Lord, it is firmly fixed in heaven.

v97 How I love Your Laws, I meditate on them all day long.

v105 Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

v113 I hate double minded people, but I love Your Law.

v121 I have done what is just and right, You will not abandon me to my oppressors.

v129 Your instruction is wonderful, therefore I gladly keep it.

v137 How just You are, Lord, how straight and true are Your decrees.

v145 I call with my whole heart, answer me, Lord. I shall keep Your statutes.

v153 See the trouble I am in and set me free, for I do not forget Your Laws.

v161 I am persecuted without cause, but Your Word is my mainstay.

v169-176 Let my cry reach You, as promised You give me knowledge and understanding. May Your hand be quick to help me, I long for Your deliverance.
I have strayed like a lost sheep, come now and search for Your servant. Let me live to praise You, I am Yours, keep me safe, I pray.
Ref: Revised English Bible.

The Law for us Christians today, is the Ten Commandments, which Jesus expanded upon and the Apostles reiterated.

I have no problem with the 10 commandments however, as I have mentioned in my previous post, we are under the New Covenant free from the bondage of the Old Covenant. Jesus Christ of Nazareth established His commandments and it supersedes the written law given to Moses. He literally moved the target from performing a sin to just thinking about sin. There is now a better way.
Thanks for sharing.

Psalms 61:1-5 Lord, hear our cry, listen to our prayers. From the ends of the earth we call to You, with fainting hearts. Lift us up, for You are our shelter and tower of strength against the enemy. We shall make our homes forever under the shelter of Your wings. For You, our God, will hear our prayers and grant the desires of those who revere Your Name.

Psalms 62:5-8 For the Lord alone, I wait silently: my hope comes from Him. He alone is My rock of deliverance, my strong tower, so that I am unshaken. On Him, my safety and honour depend. Trust in Him at all times, you people – pour out your hearts before Him. The Lord is our shelter.

Psalms 64:1-10 Lord, hear me as I make my prayer to You. Keep me safe from the terror of the enemy, protect me from intrigues of the evildoers, they sharpen their tongues like swords to cut down the innocent, suddenly attacking from out of hiding. They hatch plots to ensnare us, saying: who will see us?
But the Lord, with His arrows shoots them down and sudden is their overthrow. He will make them fall, using their own words against them. All who see this will flee in horror, everyone is terrified; this is the work of the Mighty God, they say. They understand that retribution has fallen on them because of their evil ways. The righteous rejoice, all the upright in heart will exult, all those who sought refuge in the Lord.

Psalms 66:8-12 Bless our God, you nations; let the sound of praises be heard. He preserves us in life and keeps us going in the right way. For You, Lord, have put us to the test and refined us like silver. You have brought us into prison and laid burdens upon us. You let men ride over us, we went through fire and water, but You have brought us out into a place of plenty.

Psalms 66:16-20 Come; listen, all who fear the Lord and I will tell you what He has done for me. I lifted up my voice in prayer, His praise was on my tongue. If I had iniquity in my heart, He would not have listened, but in truth He did listen and paid heed to my plea. Blessed is the Lord, who keeps me in His love and care!

I believe what Paul tells us like in Romans 3:21-26 can help us to apply Psalm 119 in manners of prayer & meditation by the law & prophets ( Matthew 7:12, per Matthew 7:1-12) & in which these depend on the Lord’s commandments ( Matthew 22:36-40).

Whether on a work day or off day, i try to find time for a daily walk. When I do, i try to find a few minutes for prayer, meditation etc. Thinking that we should pray for all ( 1 Timothy 2:1-6), I will say the golden rule & the 2 great commandments & select one of the Hebrew letter & stanzas of Psalm 119 to further prayer. ( a pocket Bible is helpful here).

The Hebrews word "Torah" used in Psalm 119 refers to all of the Law of Moses, not to just the Ten Commandments. In Matthew 4:4, Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God, not just the Ten Commandments.
