Faith implies four things: self-renunciation, reliance with utter confidence on Christ, obedience, and a changed life.
Billy GrahamWe have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law.

It seemed like a perfect way to make some money for college. And being away from my parents and learning to make my own way gave me self confidence.
