A Ragamuffin Knows He's Only A Beggar

For Me The Most Radical Demand Of Christian Faith Lies In Summoning The Courage To Say Yes To The Present Risenness Of Jesus Christ.

Whatever We Have Done In The Past, Be It Good Or Evil, Great Or Small, Is Irrelevant To Our Stance Before God Today. It Is Only Now That We Are In The Presence Of God.

Ragamuffins Are Simple, Direct And Honest. Their Speech Is Unaffected. They Are Slow To Claim, "god Told Me..." As They Make Their Way Through The World, They Bear Wordless, Prophetic Witness.

When A Man Or Woman Is Truly Honest, It Is Virtually Impossible To Insult Them Personally.

When Being Is Divorced From Doing, Pious Thoughts Become An Adequate Substitute For Washing Dirty Feet.
