If someone gave you 875 million dollars…

Ok, so what would you do with it?  I mean initially.  Where would you put 875 million dollars?  It won’t fit in your wallet or purse or even your house.  That would be 8.75 million bills (if all were $100 bills).  But what if some bills were smaller and you had hundreds of millions of bills to manage?  Would you even know…

No purpose of God can be withheld from Him

At the end of the book of Job, when God reveals His majesty and infinite power to this man of endurance, one cannot help but be overwhelmed and enriched by meditating upon His words. “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?… Who determined its measurements?… To what were its foundations fastened?… Or who shut in the sea with…

Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound

For more than 50 years, Superman has been described in these words – “Faster than a speeding bullet.  More powerful than a locomotive.  Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound.”  (Of course, some would wonder why he needs to leap over a building when he can fly over it.)  How would you describe such a man with these “super” abilities? …

Ladies, let’s talk for a minute

“She has done what she could”

In Mark 14, Jesus’ death was quickly approaching.  The chief priests and scribes were seeking “how they might take Him by trickery and put Him to death” (14:1).  What would you have done?  Maybe more pointedly, what could you have done about Jesus’ impending death?  Could you have been powerful enough to stop it?  Could you have lessened the pain and suffering…

“It’s a complete new world!”

“I wasn’t a bad person before I became a Christian,” she admitted.  “I wasn’t into the drinking, partying, sleeping around or being hateful to everyone.  I was a pretty nice person.  But, since I’ve become a Christian, it’s a complete new world.  I’m going to every Bible study I can.  I’m writing down notes in classes and sermons and looking stuff up…
