A Worship Experiment: Studying the Psalms as a Guide

Last updated on: January 2, 2024 at 11:41 am By W. Mark Whitlock

For the last few years I have been kicking around in the Psalms like a man walking an old piece of family property being surprised by the flora and fauna, arrowheads in the soil, and the stories of all who’ve lived there. For my personal growth and edification, I want to perform an experiment in the Psalms. You’re welcome to eavesdrop and more. Please accept my invitation to the conversation. Read more
