I have some aquaintences who are clearly on the "slow fade" path, if they ever truly were born again.Shaindelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10093329073017071611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7430318832508662280.post-23071653536365919782011-08-04T17:42:53.545-05:002011-08-04T17:42:53.545-05:00With some confusion as to my above comment, let me...With some confusion as to my above comment, let me restate.

The American dream is to store up treasures, yet Jesus commands us not to.
