Excerpts/Quotes
Seven Deadly Sins
“In church tradition, the seven deadly sins are pride, covetousness (greed), lust, envy, gluttony, anger, and sloth (laziness). They are “deadly” because they are so common and easy to fall into. They are also considered capital sins because they cover the gamut of human frailties.”

Journey To Jesus
“I grew up in a household and family of sporadic church-goers. My mother often slept in on Sundays and the only time I remember going to church regularly was when we were in trouble. My mother fellowshipped with God quite often: especially when we didn’t have food to eat or clothes to wear. Sometimes I could hear her crying and praying for God outside her bedroom door and I knew we were in trouble again. That doesn’t mean my mother wasn’t a Christian or believed in God.”

Faith
“To have Faith is to believe in something or someone. It means to have complete trust. It means to be so confident in what you trust and believe in, that you base all of your actions upon it. Faith is being fully convinced of that thing you believe in.”
