077: Look Up (Through the Psalms) Psalm 73

Don Green's 'An Easy Guide to Missing Heaven' critiques popular but false ideas about God's harmlessness, human goodness, and the nature of Jesus, arguing these lead people away from true salvation. Drawing on Scripture, Green exposes how comfortable cultural narratives can cause spiritual complacency and offers a clear call to repentant faith. The book summarizes biblical teaching about human sinfulness, the holiness of God, and the necessity of Christ's atoning work. It aims to awaken readers to the seriousness of their spiritual condition while presenting the gospel as the only remedy. Written in a direct, accessible style, it is intended for church audiences and seekers alike.

Martin Lloyd-Jones's 'Faith on Trial' is a sermon-based exposition focusing on Psalm 73 and the believer's struggle with the prosperity of the wicked. The book examines spiritual doubt, envy, and the restoration of a right view of God through worship and truth. Lloyd-Jones unpacks the psalm verse-by-verse, offering pastoral insights into how worship and eternal perspective resolve crises of faith. His clear, pastoral expository style has influenced generations of pastors and laypeople, making the book a classic resource on faith under trial. It emphasizes God's goodness to His people and practical steps to return to faithful trust.
