The Flip Side of the Coin | John Chiafos | Psalm 119:113-120

John Chiafos preaches from Psalm 119:113-120, exploring the theme of single-minded commitment to God and His Word. He contrasts the psalmist's love for God's law with his hatred for vain, or "double-minded," thoughts, encouraging believers to seek clarity in a confusing world. He shares personal stories and scriptural truths to demonstrate how God's Word is a source of security, guidance, and strength when faced with life's struggles. He then concludes with a sobering call to fear God alone and to live a single-minded testimony that points others to the hope found in Jesus Christ.**Chapters:**0:00:00 - Introduction to Psalm 1190:01:00 - The Practical Use of God's Word0:02:30 - The Antithesis of God's Word0:03:05 - I Hate Vain Thoughts, But Thy Law Do I Love0:04:10 - The Purpose of Opposites in Scripture0:05:30 - The Danger of Double-mindedness0:07:00 - The Comfort Zone of Mediocrity0:08:15 - The Benefit of Single-mindedness0:09:00 - The Example of Elijah on Mount Carmel0:10:15 - The Flip Side of the Coin0:11:00 - Single-mindedness Means Commitment0:11:30 - I Hope in Thy Word0:12:45 - The Deception of Snake Oil0:14:00 - God Is Our Hiding Place and Our Shield0:15:00 - A Personal Story of Overcoming Anxiety0:16:30 - Memorizing Scripture by Topic0:17:15 - Charles Spurgeon on Running to God0:18:15 - The Experience of the Psalmist0:19:50 - Single-mindedness Means Being Committed to Action0:20:10 - Depart from Me, Ye Evildoers0:20:50 - The Problem with Wicked Influences0:21:50 - Single-mindedness Means Sustenance0:23:00 - The Hebrew Word for Uphold0:24:00 - God's Sustaining Grace0:25:00 - We Will Never Be Ashamed of Our Hope0:26:00 - The Humbling Example of David0:26:40 - The Flip Side: Fearing God Alone0:27:30 - Thou Hast Trodden Down All Them That Err0:28:30 - The Deceit of Falsehood0:29:15 - Don't Be Jealous of the Wicked's Prosperity0:30:40 - The Candle of the Wicked Shall Be Put Out0:31:30 - The Dividing Line: Love Good, Hate Evil0:32:30 - I Am Afraid of Thy Judgments0:34:00 - God Is Not Willing That Any Should Perish0:35:00 - The Hope of Salvation in Jesus0:36:00 - Living a Single-minded TestimonyThank you for listening!
