I was thinking of an old Elvis Presley song the other day, and a devotional by my friend, Henry, brought to mind just the thing I wanted to say to you this week. The lyrics of the Elvis [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not faith in Jesus. The faith of Jesus. Did Jesus have faith? Did He need faith? How does the Spirit describe faith? Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. (Hebrews 11:1) That&#8217;s one of those types of statements that to me is like describing grace as &#8220;unmerited [...]]]></description>

You know the ones &#8212; these are the signs that have quippy sayings that are intended to make you think, and sometimes make you groan. Like most quotes, some are better than others.

A well-known speaker started his seminar by holding up a $50.00 bill.  In a room of 200 participants, he asked, &#8220;Who would like to have this $50.00 bill?&#8221;  Hands went up immediately.  He said, &#8220;I am going to give this $50.00 to one of you, [...]]]></description>
