Questions Week 15, Day 5

by David Joynt on August 10, 2017


PSALM 90


Jesus’ teaching about consequences lines up with the O.T. idea that God opposes evil, both in us and around us. Life is brief, as the psalmist vividly describes, and eternity is long so it is wise not to live carelessly or rebelliously. All of our decisions either move us closer or farther away from God, upon whom we completely depend on for our lives and our futures.


Read this Psalm. What lines strike you?


Can a sense of frailty exist with a sense of joy?

About the Author
David Joynt

Dave Joynt began his service as a pastor at Valley Presbyterian Church in Paradise Valley, Arizona in September 2014. This meant a move away from the Northeast, where he has a long history, growing up in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and then serving congregations in Delaware and New Jersey for a total of 23 years.

Dave was nurtured in a great church in Bethlehem where his parents, Anne and Carey, served as elders. He graduated in classics from Lehigh University where his Father taught, and then from Oxford, where he met his wife Julia. Ordained in 1988, he completed a Ph.D. from Princeton Theological Seminary in 1993.

He and Julia have a son, Tristan, and a daughter, Madeleine.
