Peter B.
Peter B. from Buchanan, MI said:
Reread Luke 16: 1-8 It's A parable about a dishonest manager,who(acted shrewdly)who mismanaged his master resources, and that the people(sons) of this world are unbelievers and the people(sons of light) are believers. Jesus wants us to be just stewards of our resources, for everything we own is a Gift from God. God is the owner we are the stewards. We as Christians are to use the Masters resources to further the Masters Goals.

The man's friends would do anything to help him get healed. They were not ashamed or embarrassed to climb up on the roof to lower him in. Would I have that kind of courage?
