“ Believing requires action.” ~ James E. Faust

“You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi

“The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today.” ~ Saint Francis of Assisi

“ Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.” - Henry David Thoreau

“Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” ~ 1 John 3:18

“If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself," you are doing right.” ~ James 2-8 NIV

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.” - Luke 4:18-19 NIV

“The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door. We must, therefore, be very careful at this point.” ~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What do you believe about Jesus?

Belief Radical Trust! Behavior

How does your faith in Jesus make a tangible difference in how you relate to: - Family / Friends? - Work / School? - Money / Possessions? - Serving The Poor / Suffering?

“At the end of life we will not be judged by how many diplomas we have received, how much money we have made, how many great things we have done. We will be judged by 'I was hungry, and you gave me something to eat, I was naked and you clothed me. I was homeless, and you took me in.' Hungry not only for bread - but hungry for love. Naked not only for clothing - but naked of human dignity and respect. Homeless not only for want of a home of bricks - but homeless because of rejection.” ~ Mother Teresa

“Jesus replied, ‘Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” ~ John 14:23 TNIV
