Don't sell your rights to Superman!

Mark 8:36 "For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? 37 For what can a man give in return for his soul? 

Ever feel like quitting the race, or selling your birthright for a cup-o-soup? This world will tell you to quit on the Gospel because the cost is too steep!

The world cannot be more wrong.

Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster created Superman in 1938, as a hero that matched their bullied personalities along with their desire for the bullied to rise to exact justice on the empires of evil!  Well, they sold away the rights to Superman shortly after the inaugural publication in Action Comics. They sold the rights to Superman for ... $130.

What a mistake! I am sure someone slyly saw the value in Superman, then tricked them into selling. Siegel and Shuster spent their lives trying to get their rights back.  No avail. They both passed away in the '90s, broken and absolutely penniless in comparison to the commercial enterprise that Superman had grown in to.

Do not let this world fool you into quitting the race. Finish, and finish well! The reward makes the sufferings and doubts of this world look penniless. Persevere! 

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.
