    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 28, 2014
     | 19,045 views

    As I explored our two line story today – which is a short message with a big idea - I paid attention to the meaning of Jabez’s name which to me became important to get a little background on this man’s life. So let’s look for a moment at the meaning of his name.

    What is the value of your soul? What is the worth of your eternal destiny? Challenge to answer the clarion call, the ultimate question of materialism, "what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"

    *On the market, what is a fair exchange for your eternal soul? — one month, lifetime, night, moment of sinful pleasure The absurdity and audacity of the Lord to ask such a question. Who would do such a moronic thing as to exchange his soul? Yet the universality of its application is clear. ...read more
