Becoming disciples of Jesus will include reevaluating our relationship with money and materialism. In our capitalist society, where greed fuels growth, few topics will demand more commitment to live counter-culturally.

"It's not about religion, it's about relationship." Really? But how do we have a relationship with an invisible silent friend?

Using others as kindling to stoke our inner fires of desire is one of the ways we devalue and dehumanize God's image on earth.

Purity of heart is both a matter of undiluted moral cleanness and undistracted mental focus. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus.
