    In response to the temptation to throw himself into the rat race called material satisfaction, Jesus finds a calm centre, an anchor in the word of God. That centered faith will enable him to deal with all the other temptations to come.

Each night he asked God to help him save his money. Kneeling beside his bed, he prayed, “Dear Lord, ...read more
