With no Powerball winners as we record this program on Sunday morning, the Jackpot grows to an estimated $1.3 Billion. Many in America are looking at the Powerball as their salvation.

Pastor Paul Holt Joins me this morning for, The World We Live In. 
James clearly outlines what provokes jealousy in the Spirit of God: friendship with the world.
