Psalm 67 - It seems as though the psalmist is saying, "God, be good to us so that others will know you." What a sweet deal. Others will know that God is God if my life is blessed! Can the psalmist really be advocating prosperity gospel? Unlikely. More likely is that this psalm recounts the gracious acts of God toward His people to bring them out of suffering. Think Abraham, Exodus, promised land. We may need to suffer, we may not. Regardless, God's power and authority will be revealed, and the nations will rejoice and fear the LORD.
1 Kings 5:1-18 - It is no small statement that God allows non-Israelites to assist with the building of the temple.
2 Corinthians 1:23-2:17 - Paul reminds us not to be outwitted by Satan. What does he mean by that here?
