Psalm 42:1-2 says, “As the deer pants for the water brooks, so pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for the living God.” The psalmist desperately needed to hear from God as he remembered what it was like to enjoy the presence of God, a presence that he deeply missed. He said in verse 4, “For I used to go with the multitude; I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, . . .”
What a great reminder that there is joy in the house of the Lord. Yes, we can and should enjoy the presence of God, individually, each and every day. But there is something about being with the church family that adds life to our relationship with Christ and readies us to live for His glory in the normal routines of life. I love my church family, and I can’t wait to be with you this Sunday!
Peter in his famous sermon during Pentecost said in Acts 2:36, “God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.” The verse that he used to draw this conclusion is Psalm 110:1, the same verse that Jesus used to make public this claim about Himself. I am looking forward to diving into the implications of what it means for us to place our trust in the divine-human Christ named Jesus. We will be in Mark 12:35-40. I hope you will join us at 9:30 or 11:00am.
Please be sure to scroll down and check out the links to some of the events that are coming up on our calendar. Thank you for you faithfulness and your generosity to the work here at Parkview. We look forward to seeing you Sunday.
Sincerely,
Pastor Mike

Book Remarks are not book reviews, but topical posts inspired by books. This post was inspired primarily by R. Albert Mohler, Jr.’s The Prayer That Turns the World Upside Down.
You’re probably familiar with the Golden Rule, particularly in its classic form: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (see Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:31).
But are you familiar with the Golden Mean? This concept comes from Aristotle’s discussion of virtues in his Nicomachean Ethics.
Aristotle loved to define and categorize things – including virtues. He saw a virtue as the proper response to a particular emotion. For example, fear would be an emotion, and courage would be the proper response to it.
But Aristotle typically did not consider the emotion and the virtue it prompted as opposites. For example, he did not consider courage to be the opposite of fear.
