Psalm 51:1-17
Welcome to those watching on tv, online, and at our campuses.
Introduction
1. When I was in high school I had a teacher in one of my English classes who was enamored with Shakespeare. We had to read several plays of William Shakespeare and I just want to confess I'm either too dumb to understand Shakespeare or I am too lazy to try, but I never got into Shakespeare. If you are like me, you are probably familiar with the famous lament of Lady Macbeth. In his famous play, Macbeth, Macbeth was spurred on by his wife to murder King Duncan and seize the throne. After he committed the murder, she took the blood of the king and smeared it on some sleeping guards to implicate them in the murder.
2. Later on the plot focuses like a laser beam on Lady Macbeth herself.

All the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!''

4. There is only one cure for guilt and the best doctors, the best surgeons, the best psychiatrists, the best counselors, the best psychologists, the best advisors, and the best medicines in all of the world cannot cure this illness. There is only one cure for sin and that is forgiveness and there is only one source of forgiveness and that is God.
5. There are a lot of diets out there that boast their ability to ''detoxify'' the body, but the debate is to whether or not they work. Our bodies have two organs, livers and kidneys, that if healthy, do a beautiful job of cleansing our bodies on a daily basis. Our bodies a ...
