The Two Ways: An Exposition of Psalm 1

In this brief exposition of Psalm 1, Pastor Barry Allen emphasizes how Psalm 1 sets the direction for the entire Psalter. Here, in Psalm 1, we Christians are reminded to be separate from the world while praying for and reaching out to those who are ensnared in the selfish and sinful living which seems to be promoted and encouraged in our contemporary society. Although separate from the lost, we are not allowed to abandon them. We have a responsibility to witness to them and help them to see the great love God has for all of us. Also, in Psalm 1, we are encouraged to stay in the Word of God and grow in holiness and Sanctifying Grace so that our holiness as individuals, and the church, will have an impact on those who are watching us to see if God is real. We are encouraged to delight in the Word of God, and we are to grow in our knowledge and righteousness while caring for and actively evangelizing the lost. Rev. Dr. Barry A.
