December 2, 2016 - Questions on Saints and Scripture

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?
