Tuesday Evening Revival Service

Brothers and sisters! Tonight we’ve been mucking around with the devil. Yes, the devil. He lives in the details, and trivia is all about details. All about the devil. The devil in the details.

But that’s gonna change. That’s gonna change right now. Because we’re going to listen to some religious music. Listen closely, brothers and sisters. Each and every one of these songs is has a religious term in its title.

You need to tell me who’s singing, and the name of the song. The artist and the song title are worth a half! point! each!

Can you give me an amen? Amen!
