oppression

Psalms 119:134-136 ESV “Redeem me from man's oppression, that I may keep your precepts. Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your statutes. My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.” This is a prayer to be released (liberated, delivered)...

Psalms 119:129-131 ESV “Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple. I open my mouth and pant, because I long for your commandments.” I love the Scriptures. Now not all of the...

Psalm 94:1-7 ESV O Lord, God of vengeance, O God of vengeance, shine forth! Rise up, O judge of the earth; repay to the proud what they deserve! O Lord, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult? They pour out their arrogant words; all the evildoers boast. They...

Good day everyone! I have some prayer requests I'd like to post. The first two are "selfish" desires, though I guess all prayers can be misconstrued as selfish. Regardless ... The first is, I have been having trouble sleeping lately. It is hot where I live, and even though we have central...

It's pretty obvious that we are in a time of oppression of the poor. You can do a Bible study on this topic. It's overwhelming the amount of verses you will find if you do a google search on it. What is the Christian response to this? Are we so fallen that we are so full of fear of the...
