Government can run and fund programs, but it can't love, it can't show compassion, and it can't embrace. Our faith is designed to have social implications, not just heavenly ones. The spiritual and the social must be connected.

It was the only way I could get through to myself. I was demonstrating externally and irrefutably an inward condition.
