    Possibly on the verge of something big - please pray!

    I have invented a game that is being evaluated by an agent this week. It's already had favourable responses from industry experts and people who have played it. I hope it will allow me to be a philanthropist and devote all my time to ministry. You may be thinking that I'm doing this for my...

    Help - I want certain people to envy me!

    Do a google search on "Can Christians drive a nice car" and the discussions are pretty much the same. Many folks usually reply and think that driving a luxury vehicle like a BMW is excessive, goes beyond utility and is therefore "sinful". Here's the problem: opinions are always in the local...
