Years after my R.E. teacher said, “I will never fall lower than into God’s hands,” I finally came up with the retort, “Let’s go on the roof and check.”

    Relevant Bible passage Matthew 19:21-22:

    Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.” But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

      Ah I see you’re reading the LSB version.

      Jesus said to him, “If you wish to be complete, go make sure that you tell the poor that they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and stop having avocado toast. Being poor is a state of mind and they need to #hussle more.”

      That’s from the SSJ (Supply Side Jesus) version.
