Psalm 15 paraphrased


Lord, what does a true worshipper look like?


How do those who know you best act?


Anyone who lives above reproach

...and who chooses daily to do the right thing


Anyone who speaks the truth from his heart

...and who never uses words to tear someone else down


Anyone who never hurts his close friends

...and never speaks unkindly of the people he knows


Anyone who hates the wickedness he sees in people

...but openly celebrates those who honor Christ


Anyone who keeps his promises

...even when it’s hard, or comes with a cost


Anyone who gives freely to those in need

...and never accepts a gift that might sway his good judgment


Anyone who lives this way will never question his faith
