My purpose in this post is simply to give my own opinion on what resources I found most helpful in preparing to preach Psalm 128. I am not addressing which resources are the best on the Psalms in general.

9 Marks, Advice for Young Pastors
The latest 9 Marks ejournal is now available (in pdf as well).Below is the table of contents with links. This is a great resource for younger and older pastors. The article that most caught my eye is Leeman’s “Love the Church More than Its Health.” I have too often had pastors want to tell me [...]
