Welcome to the POG Blog! Instead of a staff person or lay leader beginning the discussion, we are asking that YOU begin the discussion on what today’s Scripture is saying to you and how it relates to Sunday’s message. Enjoy praying, digging in, sharing thoughts and responding!

Have a great Saturday!   Denise

Today’s Scripture Reading is:  Psalm 51: 10-17   (NIV)

¹⁰ Create in me a pure heart,^(A) O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.^{(B) 11} Do not cast me^(C) from your presence^(D) or take your Holy Spirit^(E) from me. ¹² Restore to me the joy of your salvation^(F) and grant me a willing spirit,^(G) to sustain me.^(H)

¹³ Then I will teach transgressors your ways,^(I) so that sinners^(J) will turn back to you.^{(K) 14} Deliver me^(L) from the guilt of bloodshed,^(M) O God, you who are God my Savior,^(N) and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.^{(O) 15} Open my lips, Lord,^(P) and my mouth will declare your praise. ¹⁶ You do not delight in sacrifice,^(Q) or I would bring it; you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings. ¹⁷ My sacrifice,^(R) O God, is^[a] a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart^(S) you, God, will not despise.
