Psalm 2:1-12
Why do the nations rage, (cause a tumult, a state of fear and disorder) And the people plot a vain thing? (thinking God does not exist or His instructions do not apply to them)
The kings (government leaders) of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, (Christ) saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.” (let us do whatever we want without
any constraints. Let us make our own laws to legalize our
wickedness)
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision (contempt). Then He shall speak to them in His anger, And distress them in His deep displeasure: “Yet I have set (installed) My King On My holy hill of Zion.” (The capital city of the Kingdom of God)
“I (Christ speaking) will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron; (break their wicked plans) You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ” (scatter like broken pottery)
Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling (with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder). Kiss the Son, (embrace His instructions) lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. (Jesus the Christ)

Renew Your Strength is not a "know-it-all" type ministry. The purpose of Renew Your Strength Bible Study Group is to get people to think about what they believe and why they believe it, not debate who's right or wrong.
Over the years, as Renew Your Strength has continued to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have recognized that some of the things we once held as true, in fact, are not; and therefore we will not “cast in stone” a statement of our beliefs. We reserve the right to be wrong and to repent of such error when we discover it.
