Grudem On-Line

John Brown of Haddington writes regarding Psalm 50 (on which I blogged moments ago): This psalm may be considered as a rebuke to the carnal Jews who rested in, and boasted of their external ceremonies in worship, to the neglect of the weightier matters of the law mercy, judgment, and faith; or as a prediction…
