I NOTICED that media tycoon Ted Turner has given one billion dollars to the poor on a whim, while he has said that Christianity is 'for losers'. Clearly, one of God's thoughts got through to him, but then Christianity is about love of God and people, not money. Modern-day Christians, I feel, are slaves to making money and advancing their careers instead of loving the lost and poor.

It is time Christians counted the cost of discipleship like Mother Teresa did and allowed the power of God's love to sweep through this nation in these last days before God destroys this world.
