  • Getting the Message: Psalm 15

    By by Chris Shelton, READ MORE > 427 Reads
    On Sun, 01/24/2021 - 05:00 AM

    The psalm poses the question of “Who may dwell with God?” It doesn’t simply look into the future as to who will dwell with God in the end but directs us to what it means to dwell with him now; to walk in faith and fellowship with the living God. It answers the question of what makes up a true profession of faith.

    But the Roman calendar (Ab urbe condita) says it’s the year 2774. It’s 1470 on the Armenian calendar and 6771 on the Assyrian calendar.

    Of the writers from Mississippi, most focus on novels or short stories. However, Mississippi has also produced one of the most famous playwrights of all time. Tennessee Williams hails from Columbus and schools teach many of his works. Although some Union residents may know his works by name, many will not know the author well.
