Doing greater things than even Jesus

In the gospel of John, Jesus is quoted "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."

That's a huge promise, doing things greater than the miracles of Jesus. While he was walking around 2000 years ago, he fed 5000 with a few fish and not even a basket of bread, turned water into wine, did all kinds of healing miracles on the blind, the sick, the paralyzed.

Today we are doing things even greater through science and thoughtful design. We have technology now that does more than just feed 5000 with a few fish. We can share knowledge and appropriate technology that creates 10's of thousands of new jobs enabling 100's of thousands to feed themselves and their family for a lifetime. One example is Kickstart MoneyMaker Pump. It costs $100 and can help a farmer go from $300 income a year to $3000 a year, creating 10's of thousands of jobs in the process. The power we have to care for others is greater than it ever has been and much of this power falls under the label social enterprise.

Is this fulfillment of prophecy?

Explaining the Financial Crisis and the Bailout

Unfortunately Prosper.com only allows loans of $25,000 which just isn't enough for a lot of companies. Maybe Prosper will expand soon to ease the short term credit crisis. Well here's Pat Dorsey's take on the credit crisis:

Praise Reports: Thanks to an anonymous donation my financial support is up to $600 now! Thank you Mr/Ms Anonymous! A childhood friend of mine contacted me out of the blue to let me know he's in Orlando, too.  I haven't seen him since 1997 so hopefully we can get reaquainted next weekend.  He Googled my name and found my address.  God Bless the Internet! The first two groups of students got back from their trips to Key West and Brazil this past Friday.  Seeing how much these young people have matured spiritually gives me more confirmation that I'm in the right place.  I can see the changes in attitude towards their faith and increased priority to follow Christ and it makes the 14 hour days worth the effort. Also Getting 90 minutes a day of prayer and reading is a lot easier than I thought it would be with our 14 hour days.  Being in a community that supports that kind of thing is so awesome! I'm reading a great book called "Intercession: Thrilling ...
