1. How should we understand Psalm 88 in relationship to Paul's call for us to always rejoice? Is psalm 88 even the prayer of a believer?

4. Does spiritual maturity mean that I should no longer struggle with sin?

4. I love the way you describe the distinction between law and gospel. Is there another kind of instruction we find in the wisdom books? Is wisdom another category? If so, how would you describe this in relation to law and gospel?
