Earlier this week I wrote a post on Self-pity and self-salvation and Psalm 25. I concluded the post with a reference to a sermon on Psalm 25 by James McDonald. Well, the video came available on-line this week.

And if you haven’t walked through a season like this, you would still do well to give a listen; you never know what God may be preparing your for.

4 Reasons Why the Greeting is Not Garbage
Let it be known, that these four points are entirely owed to my wife Amber. She casually spoke them and my head exploded with their meaning as she looked at me with mild bewilderment (this is a somewhat common occurrence). So I’ve stolen them, not without credit, and elaborated on them here.
Here are four reasons why the greetings to the New Testament Epistles are not throw-away verses and why you should not hastily skim over them to get to the “real meat” of the bible:
