We often times read the Bible and affirm what it has to say. It's full of powerful sayings. But what do these passages mean in the context of our globalized 21st Century world? You might mind some of the pictures offensive - I find some of the pictures offensive. I'm doing this so that we can ask ourselves, Why am I offended by this? Do we hold onto these things so tightly we don't allow the scripture to challenge it?

Psalm 7:3-5
LORD my God, if I have done this
and there is guilt on my hands—
if I have repaid my ally with evil
or without cause have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
let him trample my life to the ground
and make me sleep in the dust.
and there is guilt on my hands—
if I have repaid my ally with evil
or without cause have robbed my foe—
then let my enemy pursue and overtake me;
let him trample my life to the ground
and make me sleep in the dust.
