The Bible says that you and I are created in the image of God. While the actual implications of that are vague, the significance can’t be overlooked. I want to add to being created in the image of God an intersection with this quote: “with great power comes great responsibility.” Whether you attribute this saying to Voltaire, who said it first, or Peter Parker, who is most famous for the quote in current times, there is an obvious burden that exists when taken in light of our creation in the image of God.

The grandson looks at his grandfather and, after considering what he has been told, asks “which wolf will win?”

At first I was so impressed that I qualified for a credit card that it made me feel important that I had it, and powerful when I used it. As I began to see the debt climb, I told myself that I would reserve it for emergency situations only, but I found that almost everything could be rationalized as an emergency with the right argument
