WEDNESDAY THOUGHT 3/12/08

As a businessman, I understand the profit motive.  I also understand that when you want to find out why most people do many things, just follow the money trail.
 
That’s what I looked for to explain the behavior of the apostles after Christ’s death.  Why did these men travel the known world, get spit on, stoned, beheaded and crucified?  Something had happened, something so powerful, so once-in-a-worldtime, that motivated them.  It sure wasn’t money or glory. 
 
Maybe, just maybe, this Christ stuff is really true?  Works for me.  How about you?  Enjoy and rejoice in the “profit” of faith. — jri
 
“Unlike so many, we do not peddle the
word of God for profit.  On the contrary,
in Christ we speak before God with
sincerity, like men sent from God.”
