God has saved us and raised us.

We are one in the Lord.

Christ has overcome the world. May it be that you and I overcome what we are facing in and with the love of God, our first love.

The Lord receives our blunderous love and promises to never leave us. We are God's beloved.

Good theology teaches and affirms our trust in God.

You don't need billions of dollars to answer that question.
