Bible Challenge -" RICHES"

Good Evening to All!

Well, as y'all are fixing to see, I'm back to doing the Bible Challenge the old way. I can't seem to find a " quiz or test creator that will score your challenge so that you can see how you did as soon as you finish. Sooo, in light of that I will post the answers to the following questions tomorrow.

By the way. I told a blogger friend that I was going to put a link in this post to his blog. It is called Settled In Heaven . He had an excellent post today about Christ and Santa Claus. I will leave it at that so as not to ruin it for you. I think if you will visit his blog you will be VERY ENLIGHTENED.
