They become rich in giving. They do not wait to be asked. When they see a …
Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” Mark 10:21 “Our entire Western economy is based on consumption. One cannot be a successful consumer without adequate resources. When we couple this notion with the …
