The United States is facing some difficult times. The Congress is meeting to discuss a 700 Billion dollar aid package for some of the major companies that are facing financial ruin. As I watch the news I can see the stress on people's faces as they try to figure this all out.
I also read the the Lehman Brother's Bank CEO made $22.1 million dollars as a salary with stock options in 2007! I don't know about you but don't you think that is a little high for a wage package? I wonder why the company was in trouble!
The price of things are in turmoil. What could a person buy with 700 billion? People don't know what they should do about this problem. What will they do with all this money?
Judas Iscariot discovered what he could get for a few dollars, thirty pieces of silver to be exact. He could sell Jesus to his enemies!
Matthew 26:14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver Him to you?” And they counted out to him thirty pieces of silver. 16 So from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him.
The world has always had a fascination with money. The LORD before the beginning of time decided that the price of His Son would be set at thirty pieces of silver. Such a small amount for what it purchased!
These thirty pieces of silver moved Judas to do the worst deed in all of history. Even today not many would call their child, Judas, because of what he did. This small purchase price was worth more than the 700 billion dollar bail out. This small purchase saved the human race.
To God be the Glory great things He has done!
Remember to pray for America. That God would give them wisdom on how to best handle this overwhelming challenge. America needs of understanding and compassion during these difficult hours, not our complaints and criticism. Pray for the still great nation to our south!

In India the Bajrang Dal & VHP, the front organisations of right-wing Hindu party are carrying out merciless attacks on Christians and destroying Churches. The secular parties of India are demanding a ban on these terrorist outfits. Incidentally, these organisations raise majority of their funds from America and other western nations.
Surprising is’nt it? Money from US, UK and Canada is used to kill humans and spread religious hatred and bring down Churches.
The western nations should ban these organisations - Bajrang Dal, RSS & VHP (World Hindu Council) and freeze their funding sources.
