I preached today. I don’t know… there’s often a lingering sense that I was far from adequate. I still haven’t preached my best. I preached on Psalm 37. My basic 3 points were:

1. depart from evil
2. do good
3. and you won’t regret it.

Simple. Verse 27 summarizes the whole psalm this way:
“Depart from evil, and do good;
So you shall abide forever.”

I feel there is something so solidly true about this, even in spite of the obvious denials of it, the physical proofs that it ain’t so. I have to believe that God is our refuge, bottom line. That justice will prevail. So I preach on. I’ll “kick at the darkness ‘til it bleeds daylight” (Bruce Cockburn).
