> > Through the Psalms
> >
> > "1 I Waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, and heard my
> > cry. 2 He brought me up out of the pit of destruction, out of the miry
> > clay; And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm. 3 And He
> > put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God; Many will see
> > and fear, And will trust in the Lord.
> >
> > 4 How blessed is the man who has made the Lord his trust, And has not
> > turned to the proud, nor to those who lapse into falsehood. 5 Many, O
> > Lord my God, are the wonders which Thou hast done, And Thy thoughts
> > toward us; There is none to compare with Thee; If I would declare and
> > speak of them, They would be too numerous to count.
> >
> > 6 Sacrifice and meal offering Thou hast not desired; My ears Thou hast
> > opened; Burnt offering and sin offering Thou hast not required. 7 Then I
> > said, “Behold, I come; In the scroll of the book it is written of me; 8 I
> > delight to do Thy will, O my God; Thy Law is within my heart.”
> > (Psalm 40:1-8).
> >
> > 40:1-4. The psalm begins with David’s joyful report to the congregation
> > about his deliverance and an encouragement to them to trust the Lord. God
> > did something wonderful for him after a long period of prayerful, patient
> > waiting. Using figurative language to describe his distress and release,
> > he affirmed that the Lord saved him from his dilemma (like being in a
> > slimy pit with mud and mire) and established him firmly on a rock. This
> > deliverance gave him a new song for rejoicing (cf. 33:3; 96:1; 98:1;
> > 144:9; 149:1).
> >
> > 40:5. David expressed appreciation for the Lord’s innumerable and
> wonderful
> > acts of deliverance (wonders). If he tried to speak of all the things God
> > had planned for His own, they would be too numerous to tell.
> >
> > 40:6. Recognizing his rich benefits from God prompted the psalmist to
> > dedicate himself. He recalled that God preferred his body to his
> > sacrifices. Some have suggested that the words my ears You have pierced
> > refer to the custom of boring a slave’s ear (Ex. 21:6), meaning, "You
> > have bound me as a slave to Yourself." However, it is more likely that
> > this statement is a recognition that God had given him the ability to
> > hear and obey the Word of the Lord (cf. niv marg., "opened"). The
> > Septuagint translated it much more generally, "a body You have prepared
> > for me" (cf. niv marg.), which captured the idea of the context.
> >
> > 40:7-8. David responded to the truth in verse 6 by yielding his life to
> do
> > God’s will. He presented himself willingly to the Lord, received
> > direction from the book (the scroll), and expressed his desire to do the
> > will of God. These verses present a marvelous example of what is involved
> > in dedicating oneself to God’s will in accordance with His Word."1

> > From the President, Matt Slick
> >
> > San Diego
> > There has been a slight change of plans. Due to a death of a friend I
> will
> > be in Southern California several days earlier than anticpated. There is
> > a funeral being held on Monday morning in Cyprus, CA. I'll be attending.
> > Also, please pray for me for Thursday as I go down to San Diego to cross
> > the border into Mexico and preach in La Mesa prison. Finally, please
> > pray for me as I speak to the youth at a local church in San Diego on
> > Friday night.
> >
> > Radio Show
> > There isn't the whole bunch to report except that there was a very
> > interesting caller I had on Wednesday. Someone had put me in contact
> > with him and thought he might be an interesting guest to have on the air
> > so that he could defend a Roman Catholicism. It turned out to be a
> > debacle. This gentleman was quite rude and (how I put this nicely) was
> > less than stellar in his approach. Everybody who's heard the show and
> > has commented on it, (so far as I know) has stated that this guy was
> > extremely irritating. A Roman Catholic even called in to complain about
> > him. To give you an example of how it went, at one part of the dialogue
> > I quoted Scripture thusly: "The Bible says in 1 Pet. 2:22 that Jesus
> > never sinned." He responded by saying that the Bible never said any such
> > thing. I corrected him and said that the Scriptures did indeed say that
> > Jesus was sinless. He then told me (I'm paraphrasing here) that the
> > Bible doesn't have a mouth and can't say anything. If that wasn't bad
> > enough, after a particularly illogical approach from him on the
> > invalidity of interpreting Scripture, I tried to get to the discussion
> > back on topic. He then asked me if I was conceding his point. I said
> > that was not conceding anything to him but just wanted to get back on
> > topic. He then said "I win" several times.
> >
> > The discussion degenerated and it became quite obvious that he was not
> > capable of having a truly in-depth and rational dialogue. Unfortunately,
> > it became necessary to cut them off and continue the show without him.
> > Several people I spoke to who heard the show said they couldn't believe
> > that I waited as long as I did to get rid of them. Unfortunately, things
> > like this happen in radio.
> >
> > Podcasts
> > If you would like to hear past shows from Faith and Reason, you can check
> > out the podcast at http://feeds.feedburner.com/carmorgpodcasting. Last
> > month we had over 8000 downloads via the podcast system.
> >
> > Book form of Theology School
> > As many of you know, CARM offers three online schools. One is in
> Christian
> > theology. Another is on apologetics. The third is on critical thinking.
> > We have converted the School of Theology into book form for use in Bible
> > studies and Sunday school classes. The school is offered in two forms: a
> > teacher's edition and a student edition. The students addition has the
> > lessons and questions. The teacher's edition has the lessons and the
> > answers to the questions. Both books are identical in layout and content
> > except that the teacher's edition has the answers. Each book contains
> > suggested reading plans for different length of time, four weeks, six
> > weeks, eight weeks, 10 weeks, and 12 weeks. There is also a basic
> > theology test of 20 questions that people can take, and Xerox off to have
> > others take in the church, so that people will be motivated to study.
> >

> > The CARM homepage was accessed about 37,022 times last week. The entire
> > site was accessed 318,876 times. Praise God.
> >
> > Effectiveness
> > The effectiveness of the Internet is amazing. There simply is no more
> > efficient way to get out mass amounts of information than the Internet.
> > Since I have started keeping track of the total amount of page views and
> > visitors to the CARM website on the site as a whole, (not just the home
> > page), the statistics are amazing. Since June 1st, 2006 through today
> > Oct 7, CARM has been accessed 5,037,833 times. There have been
> > 1,370,095 unique visitors with 295,507 returning visitors. Can you think
> > of any easier, inexpensive, and more efficient way to reach people been
> > the Internet? I can't. I praise God that the Internet exists so that we
> > can spread the gospel.

> > Suggestions?
> > Do you have any suggestions for the newsletter or the CARM website? If

> > Love and Hate Mail
> >
> > CARM is constantly getting e-mails of thanks and praise and condemnation.

> > \tab\tab - WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, YOUR WHOLE WEBSITE IS AN ERROR
> > \tab\tab - I have read your numerous robotic quotes of scripture as you
> > denounce the true Church of Christ: The Roman Catholic Church, as history
> > proves, as well as the countless confirmed miracles and apparitions of
> > the Blessed Virgin Mary attest. You claim to hold a MDiv- so do I- but
> > you have no sense of exegesis. Your interpretation of Holy Scripture is
> > purely biased and has no authority. The authority lies with the Holy See
> > in Rome. Your abuse of Holy Scripture is a sin against the Holy Spirit. I
> > pray that one day you will overcome your blindness and arrogance, the
> > same faults suffered by the "reformers?" and self-styled ministers who

> > \tab\tab - Hi, I was raised as a Jehovah Witness and when I left the

> > the truth. I also think you can add to the section of Jehovah witnesses –
