Psalms 23 – The Path to Eternal Life
February 11, 2013 Bible Answers That Make Sense, Blogs, Character Development Tim Jennings, M.D.

Several months back, in one of my Bible Studies I shared my understanding of the meaning of the 23rd Psalm – that is is a Psalm of the experience of salvation from sinner to eternal life. Several have emailed me and asked for my take on this psalm, so I have summarized it here.

Over the last 100 years dietary patterns in many westernized countries have changed.
