5-Minute Devotionals

Dr Owen Anderson

Join me, Dr. Owen Anderson, for weekly 5-minute devotionals. In these, I explore a scriptural passage and apply it to our lives. As a professor of philosophy, religious studies, and philosophical theology, as well as a pastor, I bring a unique perspective that I think you'll like.

    Psalm 119A

    Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible, a song that Jesus grew up singing, and far superior than any of the "stoic-how-to-be-manly" books out there attracting young men. This psalm teaches us the Biblical attitudes for a good life even in the face of great suffering.

    Psalm 74: A Psalm of Contemplation

    This psalm teaches us how to contemplate. The question is why believers are oppressed in this world. The psalm is an example to us of how to think about deep problems and how to find an answer by recalling to mind the greatness of God and his promises. The poor and oppressed in this world are the believers (it is not merely an economic designation).

    The Psalms Book 3

    Book 3 of the Psalms (73-89) is called the book of questions. Here you will find the deepest questions that have motivated humans and God's inspired answer directing our minds on how to think about and answer these questions. No philosopher has ever done better.

    Psalm 71: Jesus in the Psalms

    Here I continue on what is exclusive Psalmody and how each Psalm is the words of Christ (Col 3:16). We look at the Psalms as 1. the inspired Word of God, 2. elevating our mind to a mature reading of the Bible 3. the words of Christ

    Psalm 141 and the Words of Christ

    There were three things that convinced me of Psalmody and here I share them as we think over Ps 141. The first was enough to persuade me, but the third was what changed my entire outlook.

    Psalmody and Psalm 49

    In Colosians 3:16 we are told to sing the words of Christ in the psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Now let's use that insight, that these are the words of Christ, and look at Psalm 49.
