SOUL TREKKING
WITH 

PASTOR STEVE

Truths about God and life can be found everywhere, even in non-traditional places.

 Check out my Pop Culture Soul Trekking Pages to see what truths you can learn from movies, comic books, golden oldies, and TV shows. 

Even if you have little interest in spiritual things, but are a FAN of any of the above, I think you'll have fun checking out the pages.
 

Truths about God and life can also be found in Traditional sources.  And they are not as boring as you might think they are.

 My Traditional Soul Trekking Pages have Bible Studies, book listings, pastor's columns, and an explanation of my Christian beliefs using easy to understand language.

To Be Truly Rich

 

Read Psalm 73:1-5 - Why would envying prosperous people cause the Psalmist’s faith to slip?  In our culture, isn’t it common to envy the prosperous?  How can we make sure that our faith doesn’t slip?

 

Read Psalm 73:6-11 - Because rich, prosperous people are so well off, they don’t believe they have a need for God.  And they don’t think God is very concerned with how they are living because they always seem to get away with whatever they are doing.  This certainly describes many famous people in our world today.

 

Read Psalm 73:12-14 - The Psalmist believes that he has been “good for nothing,” in other words, that serving God has been of no benefit to him.  He expected to be blessed.  Instead, he is always in trouble.  Have you ever felt the way that the Psalmist does?

 

Read Psalm 73:15-17 - The Psalmist was getting depressed, but didn’t share his thoughts with anyone, lest they be tempted to abandon the faith.  But then when the Psalmist went to worship God, he realized that all was not the way it appeared to be.  The rich don’t “get away with murder.”  God is indeed watching them!  Worship often helps us put things in the proper perspective.  Does worship help you in this way?

 

Read Psalm 73:18-28 - The Psalmist realizes that the “blessings” which the rich have and that cause them to snub God are actually traps that will lead them to God’s judgment.  God is always faithful and just.  And God held on to the Psalmist, even when the Psalmist wasn’t sure he wanted to hold on to God.

 

 

Thoughts About Choices

Read Revelation 9:17-21 - You can almost hear the incredulous tone in John's voice as he writes these words.  Why wouldn't humanity repent and turn from false gods and wicked deeds during the time of the plagues? Wouldn't we expect that a time of disaster would lead people to turn to God?  But this isn't always the case.  Why?

Read John 3:19-21 - Some people will choose darkness instead of light so that they won't be exposed.  But notice that John doesn't go on to say that people who come to the light do so because they are so great.  They come because God is working within them.

Read Proverbs 2:12-15 - There are people in this world who "delight in doing wrong and rejoice in the perverseness of evil."  We can see them when we turn on the television.  Maybe we see them everyday at work or at school.  What is it that you rejoice in?

Read Hebrews 11:24-28 - Sin does indeed offer pleasure.  But it is only temporary.  We can say, "No," to sin by having faith that the pleasures of God are coming and that they will be eternal.

Read Matthew 27:15-26 - Like the people of ancient Jerusalem, we are faced with a choice.  Christ or the world?  What is your answer?
