1 Samuel 30:21-25 “The
Unearned Prize”

In countries the world over there are protest going on. Protest against greed. Protest against wealthy banks, corporations,and investment firms. If you thought we were in dark times, it is going to get even darker. For our world is becoming ripe for one leader who will solve its problems at the cost of its soul.
