Never knew you were into Derek Prince. (1 Cor. 1:12 duly noted, btw)

He has gone home now, but I highly recommend his ministry. I recall hearing him on a recorded broadcast one time as he described visiting a foreign country where people lived on a river and had no variety in their diets, because fish was all they had to eat. His voice then broke as he went on that "...and some people don't have enough to eat AT ALL."

Quite a contrast to the "Profit-Driven Church" who preach a gospel of gaudiness and flash...(shades of Matthew 6:5 ff)

Obligatory disclaimer for the intellectually-minded: he won a fellowship in philosophy at Cambridge (as in Oxford and Cambridge) at age 24 under Ludwig Wittgenstein (yes, *that* Wittgenstein. Incidentally Catholic theologian Elizabeth Anscombe *also* studied under Wittegenstein.)

Second disclaimer: while I'm on the subject, Jonathan Edwards ("Sinners in the hands of an angry god") *finished* his college degreee at Yale (as in Harvard, Yale, Princeton) at age seventeen, first in his class.

Cheers!
