This will be a test of his character as king of Israel. He is Israel’s first king ending the period of ...read more

He was in jail for drug use and didn’t get along with his parents because of how he acted when he was intoxicated.

We have seen how we are all descendants of Adam and Eve and therefore we are all “family” being part of ...read more
