More Than Bread
It's not enough to get into God's Word, we need to let His Word get into us. "More Than Bread" is a podcast featuring Pastor Dan Nold from Calvary Church in State College, PA. It focuses on simply reading the Bible (with a few comments) in the hopes that listening to God's Word, learning from God's Word and leaning into God's Word will shape our hearts, minds, and souls to bring us life. As Jesus said, "We do not live by bread alone, we live by every Word that comes from the mouth of God."
More Than Bread
Praying Scripture #10 -- Psalm 51 -- "Revive our hearts, O God!"
We have a heart problem. Revive our hearts O God! We let things into our hearts that we would never let pass our mouths. We let stuff into our eyes that would make us blush if we were there in person. In Psalm 51, David longs for a renewed purity of heart, so that he can reconnect with God, because when sin rules, life is without God. When I read Psalm 51, and look at the world around me, and within me, I find myself saying that a sin-soaked heart is life's greatest problem.
But there is a solution to life's greatest problem. And it starts with the prayer, "Revive my heart O God!"
