Capon: All God needs...

Friday, January 9, 2015
Meditation:
    The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having studied?”
    Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.”
    —John 7:15-16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    All God needs to make a universe is nothing; all he needs to make a preacher is a nobody.
