"To God belong wisdom and power; counsel and understanding are His. What He tears down cannot be rebuilt; those He imprisons cannot be released. If He holds back the waters, there is drought; if He lets them loose, they devastate the land. To him belong strength and insight; both deceived and deceiver are His. He leads rulers away stripped and makes fools of judges. He takes off the shackles put on by kings and ties a belt around their waist. He leads priests away stripped and overthrows officials long established. He silences the lips of trusted advisers and takes away the discernment of elders. He pours contempt on nobles and disarms the mighty. HE REVEALS THE DEEP THINGS OF DARKNESS AND BRINGS UTTER DARKNESS INTO LIGHT. He makes nations great, and destroys them. He deprives the leaders of the earth of their reason; He makes them wander in a trackless waste. They grope in darkness with no light; He makes them stagger like drunkards." (Job 12:13-25)
When Peter, an 18 year old Norwegian, "heard the call to evangelize China, on that day he not only emptied his wallet into the collection plate, but included a small note with the words, 'and my life.'"
