A CHRISTIAN AND HIS/GOD'S MONEY
Deuteronomy 8:18
Many of you can remember a television program called, "The Millionaire."
A man would come into his office. There would be another fellow, (you could

the door and it was a visitation from heaven. You knew it was Jesus and He
said to you, "Here's a million dollars. I'm trusting you to use it right."
