Assistance please (Psalms 94-95 / Romans 15)

Psalms 94 remains adamant throughout that the wicked person will be punished. Psalms 94:6 proves that the evildoer is in complete opposition to God and His will (James 1:27). Though sin may be fun for a season (Hebrews 11:25), it does not pay in the long run. Psalms 95 captures a man who is in the middle of deep worship with His Maker. This man has the heart of a music minister. Psalms 96 encapusulates the idea that God is a fair judge in all the decisions that He makes. This is why we can trust God on the day of judgment. It will be a righteouss judgment (96:13).

What is great about Romans 15:20 is the fact that Paul wanted to spread the gospel to places that had never heard. We often want to witness where Christ's name has been heard. It is much harder, however to preach where people have never heard of the Name. In v. 24, Paul admits his need for help. Paul may have been the greatest Christ-follower to ever walk yet he admits he is not in this race by himself. If Paul needed help in accomplishing the Great Commission, I know that we will as well.
