The contrast between the miracles of the Bible and the pseudo-miracles of televangelists is remarkable.  Modern “healers” specialize in “miracles” that are invisible or those that could so easily be staged by covetous men.  In Biblical times it was so different, for there was no way to explain away what Jesus and the apostles did.  Think about these words from those enemies…
