Mark Baldwin – Missionary to Cambodia
Mark Baldwin
It is hard to look at any images from Cambodia without seeing a temple, shrine, pagoda or idol as 95% of the nation's 13 million people are Theravada Buddhist. Unlike other forms of Buddhism this form allows it's practitioners to maintain their worldly life and their religion without conflict. As a teen Mark was extensively exposed to America's “New Age” movement and now sees great similarity in practice between New Age adherents and Buddhists. He was not a Buddhist or a “New Ager” but rather a belligerent atheist who has now experienced the omnipotent hand of the Living God in his salvation.
Now, having worked for 15 years in the computer field; having been saved by God; having completed his Masters of Divinity degree at Western Reformed Seminary; and having been called, it is time to serve the God who saved him by going to the mission field. That assignment includes teaching English, personal evangelism and discipleship, and church planting as the Lord enables. Mark's home church is Grace BPC in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Psalm 9 – A Psalm for the New Year: Conclusion
Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church
Psalm 9:17-20
17 The wicked shall be turned into hell,
And all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten;
The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.
19 Arise, O LORD,
Do not let man prevail;
Let the nations be judged in Your sight.
20 Put them in fear, O LORD,
That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
Psalm 9 – A Psalm for the New Year part 4
Preached by G.W. Fisher on 02/22/09

Psalm 9
15 The nations have fallen into the pit they have dug;
their feet are caught in the net they have hidden.
16 The LORD is known by his justice;
the wicked are ensnared by the work of their hands.
Higgaion. Selah
O give thanks unto the LORD.
Giving thanks, Spurgeon style!
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever.
- Psalm 136:1-4
The exhortation is intensely earnest: the Psalmist pleads with the Lord's people with an "O," three times repeated. Thanks are the last that we can offer, and these we ought freely to give. The inspired writer calls us to praise Jehovah for all his goodness to us, and all the greatness of his power in blessing his chosen.
- C.H. Spurgeon
Psalm 9 – From the Gates of Death to the Gates of Zion
Tacoma Bible Presbyterian Church
Psalm 9
To the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Death of the Son.” A Psalm of David.
1 I will praise You, O LORD, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.
3 When my enemies turn back,
They shall fall and perish at Your presence.
4 For You have maintained my right and my cause;
You sat on the throne judging in righteousness.
5 You have rebuked the nations,
You have destroyed the wicked;
You have blotted out their name forever and ever.
6 O enemy, destructions are finished forever!
And you have destroyed cities;
Even their memory has perished.
7 But the LORD shall endure forever;
He has prepared His throne for judgment.
8 He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.

8 He shall judge the world in righteousness,
And He shall administer judgment for the peoples in uprightness.
9 The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed,
A refuge in times of trouble.
10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You;
For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You.
11 Sing praises to the LORD, who dwells in Zion!
Declare His deeds among the people.
12 When He avenges blood, He remembers them;
He does not forget the cry of the humble.
13 Have mercy on me, O LORD!
Consider my trouble from those who hate me,
You who lift me up from the gates of death,
14 That I may tell of all Your praise
In the gates of the daughter of Zion.
I will rejoice in Your salvation.
15 The nations have sunk down in the pit which they made;
In the net which they hid, their own foot is caught.
16 The LORD is known by the judgment He executes;
The wicked is snared in the work of his own hands.
Meditation. Selah

Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

That the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah
