A Tribute To Fathers In The Bible

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jun 9, 2020

| 2,525 views

Introduction: with the exception of Adam, who was created; and Jesus Himself, Who was born of the Virgin Mary, every man in the Bible had a father.

We used to live in a very nice house which had some live plants near the driveway. One of those plants in particular was a “volunteer elm” and we absolutely hated it.
