It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.

Nobody loves a good worship service more than I do, but we are called to make religion real, to make our faith come alive. Helping others have a decent place to live is one way to do that and it doesn't take too long for others to recognize it, too.

This is God's work. It makes blisters and it makes sweat, but it's worth my time and it's worth your time....Working together as God's people in the world-I don't know of anything more rewarding.

Faith without works is as dead as a doornail.

The theology of the hammer embraces wholeheartedly the idea that the love of God and love of man must be blended. The word and the deed must come together. One without the other is devoid of meaning … As the deed gets closer to the word, God gets closer to us. The results are always wonderful — and sometimes spectacular!

For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.

It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.
