Description: This week, Dan and Melissa discuss the importance of the saints as well as examine the meaning behind Jesus' words about a rich man entering heaven.
Topics/Questions covered in the show:
What should we do if we can't relate to any particular saint? The saints were not perfect from birth. Their lives reveal that no matter what circumstances and difficulties they experienced, they found God and developed an intimate relationship with Him. In the Gospel of Matthew, why did Jesus say, "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God"? Are we too comfortable in our lives? Do we ever give to the point that it makes us uncomfortable? Is money the root of all evil?Resources:
