What's your plan as we go into the holidays for how you're going to share the

gospel with your family members or friends who don't know Jesus? I wrote a short

resource called Gospel Threads to help you intentionally share Christ in the

fabric of your normal conversations around the table or the living room or wherever you are,

and we want to send you a free copy of gospel threads to your front door.

Just go to radical.net slash share Jesus.

Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Psalm chapter 149 verses 1 through 5.

Praise the Lord.

Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the Godly.

Let Israel be glad in his maker.

Let the children of Zion rejoice in their king. Let them praise his name with dancing,

making melody to him with tambourine and lyre. For the Lord takes pleasure in his people.

He adorns the humble with salvation.

Let the godly exult in glory.

Let them sing for joy on their beds.

Huh, what a picture, right?

The people of God singing, praising God, not because they have to, not because it's kind of the routine on Sundays

to gather together with the assembly of the godly.

Those who have submitted their lives to God

and gathered together for worship, not out of religious duty, not out of monotonous spiritual motion.

The whole picture here is filled with joy.
