When the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded in 1986, President Ronald Reagan spoke of the astronauts having slipped the surly bonds of earth to touch the face of God. This phrase expresses one of our deepest longings. We want to meet with God. We want to see him -- the only problem is, we’re sinners. We stretch the truth. We use our money selfishly.

Just Say the Word

Most of us would like to have more authority. We would like people to do what we want, when we want it. The centurion in Luke actually did have this kind of influence.
