Jesus Hung Out With Ragamuffins.

Faith Will Become Vision, Hope Will Become Possession, But The Love Of Jesus Christ That Is Stronger Than Death Endures Forever. In The End, It Is The Only Thing You Can Hang Onto.

Ruthless Trust Ultimately Comes Down To This: Faith In The Person Of Jesus And Hope In His Promise.

The Conversation Of Most Middle-class Americans, We Are Told, Revolves Around Consumption: What To Buy, What Was Just Bought, Where To Eat, The Price Of The Neighbor's House, What's On Sale This Week, Our Clothes Or Someone Else's, The Best Car On The Market This Year, Where To Spend A Vacation. Apparently We Can't Stop Eating, Shopping, Or Consuming. Success Is Measured Not In Terms Of Love, Wisdom, And Maturity But By The Size Of One's Pile Of Possessions.
