It has been over a week since the President declared in a speech that if you have a business or are successful, you didn’t build it, you didn’t have a hand in it, or words to that effect. 

Well, I dare say that this simple sentence has had a larger negative effect on him than anything else he has said or done. Like many others, I was ticked off about his comment. “What do you mean I didn’t build it, I asked. Boy, he really opened a can of worms, this time”.

But, just the other day, I found myself thinking about what he said again and thought, he isn’t all wrong here. 

Now, hang on and hear me out. 

Our Christian experience is like none other. We walk through life with a peace that passes all understanding, we know that our eternity is settled.

We have Christ in us, the hope of glory. We have a freedom because we know that the Son has set us free. In all circumstances, we have the joy of the Lord, it's our strength. Now, as wonderful as this is, there is a sobering point. As you look around, this sobering fact leaps out at you.
