THE USE OF GOD'S GIFTS

How much did Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys spend on the New Texas Stadium? 1.15 billion dollars. They joke that there is a hole in the top of the stadium so that God can watch his favorite team play. I’m not so sure Mr. Jones doesn’t believe that.

We look at World Vision and organizations like that where 1 dollar a day can feed, school, and provide healthcare for a poor child. I wonder if Mr. Jones has ever thought of feeding over a billion people around the world. I don’t want to pick on him, but this is so representative of our priorities, in terms of what we use God’s gifts for.
