Malachi 3:7-12
Well, I have a friend. His name is Mike Lurch. He's been my best friend since 7th grade. He and I played basketball together, and we did a lot of crazy things together. I got saved when I was a senior in high school. Mike got saved in college. And, so some of those "before Christ" years we had done a lot of crazy things together.
I still remember at basketball games, his dad would come to the game, Mr. Lurch. He was 6?10" He just looked like the guy on the Adams? Family, just so big and tall. We were all scared of him.

Money never sleeps. "Bud, what are you doing for me today? How are you helping me?" He said, "Hey, I got a tip for you." One day, he told me this. He said, "I have a hot stock tip for you. It's a new company starting up. It's an IPO." Mike said, "Jeff, the guy that works next to me, at the cubicle next to me, he's putting in $150,000. He mortgaged his house to get in on this deal." He said, "Jeff, you know, my brother, Sammy, who's very wealthy and in t ...
