Justification by faith is an answer to the greatest personal question ever asked by a human soul: 'How shall I be right with God? How do I stand in God’s sight? With what favor does he look upon me?' There are those, I admit, who never raise that question. There are those who are concerned with the question of their standing before men but never with the question of their standing before God. There are those who are interested in what 'people say' but not in the question of what God says. Such men, however, are not those who move the world. They are apt to go with the current. They are apt to do as others do. They are not the heroes who change the destinies of the race. The beginning of true nobility comes when a man ceases to be interested in the judgment of men and becomes interested in the judgment of God.

George W. Bush, in an airport lobby, noticed a man in a long
flowing white robe with a long flowing white beard and flowing
white hair. The man had a staff in one hand and some stone
tablets under the other arm.

George W. approached the man and inquired, "Aren't you Moses."

The man ignored George W. and stared at the ceiling.

George W. positioned himself more directly in the man's view
and asked again, "Aren't you Moses".

The man continued to peruse the ceiling.

George W. tugged at the man's sleeve and asked once again,
"Aren't you Moses".

The man finally responded in an irritated voice, "Yes I am".

George W. asked him why he was so uppity and the man replied,
"The last time I spoke to a Bush I had to spend forty years in the
desert".
