Oh, you had to be a big shot - didn't you? From pop song lyrics, I'll turn to the poet T.S. Eliot, who said, "Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important." That's the phenomenon we'll see played out in Acts, chapter 5, today. Ananias and Sapphira wanted the approval of men without paying the price, and forgot about the approval of God. But Jim has taken us back to John chapter 12 to show us the opposite example, in the person of Mary of Bethany.
