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 7 - A Prayer For Vindication

Psalm 7 - A Prayer For Vindication

Psa 7:1-17 is a prayer for divine vindication under slander. Slander reflects Satan's character (Joh 8:44, Rev 12:9-10). Slander has destroyed churches (Gal 5:15). David illustrates Christ being slandered though He was sinless (1Pe 2:21-23). If you seek to follow and serve Christ, you will be slandered. Lessons: (1) The lord is our safe refuge - casah under injurious slander (Heb 6:18, Psa 7:1-2, 1Pe 5:8, Exo 20:16). (2) Consider if you are guilty of the accusations (Psa 7:3-5). Unjust criticism can be a blessing if we get corrected. (3) Entrust yourself to the court of heaven (Psa 7:6-8, Gen 31:39, Heb 12:5-6). God will bring Justice to light. (4) Our personal relationship to God is with His Grace and Justice (Psa 7:9-13, Jer 17:10, Psa 11:4). (5) In every act of evil are consequences for the doer (Psa 7:14-16). (6) We need to rejoice in knowing God and His ways, and praise Him while we put confidence in Him (Psa 7:17, 1Pe 1:6-9, Job 13:15). Vindication is in the hands of God if we commit ourselves to Him.
