A self-made millionaire believes that Christians in America who for so many generations have benefitted from a society based on those laws should be able to recite them, and is wondering why they – generally – cannot.

So Darrel Rundus, who is a successful business operator in the marketing field, is offering a prize of $20,000 that will be given to someone who can recite God’s laws in order in a limited time.

The campaign has been launched on the Web under the Ten And Win address, and Rundus has posted a video there and on YouTube announcing the prize.

This phrase has been on my mind this week “Populating Heaven and Plundering Hell“.  Isn’t that what it’s all about?  If so, what am I doing about that?  What are we doing about that?   The Bible tells us to “TELL THE WORLD” , the question is are we?   I remember a question that was posed to me as a teenager and it has stayed with me ever since.

“If you were one of the original disciples would Christianity have died with you?”  Here is the scary answer, at that point I would have had to say that Christianity  would have died with me.   Ever since that question was posed to me I decided that I was on a mission.  What is that mission?   Populate Heaven and Plunder Hell!

• We really have no idea of how “huge” God is.
• When we least understand it God is at work doing things we are completely unaware of.
• When we do things that we can do on our own we don’t need God.
• We should start doing things that are impossible and thus increase our dependency on God. 
• God is the source of all Blessings and they way that He blesses us are often unnoticed. 
• God does not need us – WE NEED HIM 
• Trusting in the stock market can lead to depression, trusting in God will lead to peace, favour and an understanding that God is in total control of the entire universe

“The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty” (Winston Churchill)

There is a really interesting account in Acts 5:12-15 that talks about the fact that people would be placed on the streets so that Peters shadow would fall on them.   What is my presence doing to people?  Is that fact that  I am a believer, a Christ follower, an ambassador of Christ…. filled with the Holy Spirit making a difference on the people that I am in close proximity to? 

What is your “shadow” or “precence” doing to others?  Are they touched by the presence of God in and through you?  Do they see fruit in your life and are they sensing doubt, or a trust that God is able to do anything?  

Apparently there was something about Peter that made people carry the sick unto the streets so that his shadow might just fall on them.  The question I ask myself today is this “what is my shadow doing to people”?
