I am not sure why some Bible trivia stays with you, but I am amazed at how many people know the longest chapter in the Bible. One remarkable aspect of this psalm is that the Bible is mentioned in some way in 174 of the 176 verses in this chapter. David, the author of most of the psalms, was a man whose…

I mentioned in Sunday’s sermon, people that believe they are righteous because of their religious family heritage are relying on the wrong blood.
