The Gospel’s reversal of secular values

Just a few thoughts

• "You build on failure. You use it as a steppingstone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -- Johnny Cash

• May the poor be a primary concern of Christians, so that we learn how to be just with this world’s resources and with our own material possessions and time.
