The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible.
The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Psalm 5 - Who Can Stand before God?

Psalm 5 - Who Can Stand before God?

Wisdom is the skill of living life God's way. Psalm 5 is a morning prayer. Believers assurance is based on his standing in Grace (Psa 5:1-3, Rom 5:1-2, 1Pe 3:10-12). Positional truth plus practical obedience is the key to powerful prayer. The one who reject Christs enters into unreserved judgment (Psa 5:4-6, Psa 15:1-5, Joh 3:18-19, Joh 3:36). The believer's thanksgiving is best expressed by living god's way -- accepting His guidance (Psa 5:7-8, Rom 12:1-2, Heb 4:16). Those in the habit of being led by God are mature sons (Rom 8:14). Imprecatory prayer takes unbelievers' rejection of God into account. David asks that God's judgment be levied (Psa 5:9-10). "Let judgment fall on unbelievers" (Rev 6:9-11). Our standing in Grace through faith is our basis for a perpetual fountain of joy (Psa 5:11-12). "Casah" pictures fleeing into the rocks for refuge (Heb 6:18-19). Refuge alludes to cities of refuge. Cities of refuge and meaning illustrates spiritual growth: (1) Cadesh - "holiness"; (2) Shekum - "power"; (3) Hebron - "united"; (4) Bezer - "fortified"; (5) Ramah - "exalted"; (6) Golan - "exile" or "stranger". The ground at the foot of the cross is level; our standing in Grace gives us equal access; our standing allows us all to approach God's throne with powerful prayer that'll impact the world.
