More From Marian Wright Edelman

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.
Faith Teaching People
What we have in the bush team is a faith-based administration. it launched a faith-based war in iraq, on the basis of faith-based intelligence, with a faith-based plan for iraqi reconstruction, supported by faith-based tax cuts to generate faith-based revenues.
War Team Cutting
Faith is a belief in the unknown. faith heals, faith creates, faith works wonders, faith moves mountains. faith is the searchlight for god-finding.
Faith Moving Mountain
The reality of living by faith as though we were already dead, of living by faith in open communion with god, and then stepping back into the external world as though we are already raised from the dead, this is not once for all, it is a matter of moment-by-moment faith, and living moment by moment. this morning's faith will never do for this noon. the faith of this noon will never do for suppertime . the faith of suppertime will never do for the next morning. thank god for the reality for which we were created, a moment-by-moment communication with god himself.
God Morning Communication
When we speak of faith—the faith that can move mountains—we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the lord jesus christ. faith in the lord jesus christ can be bolstered as we learn about him and live our religion. the doctrine of jesus christ was designed by the lord to help us increase our faith.

Similar Quotes
There is nothing more pleasing to god, than to see a soul who patiently and serenely bears whatever crosses it is sent; this is how love is made, by putting lover and loved one on the same level. . . a soul who loves jesus christ desires to be treated the way christ was treated-desires to be poor, despised and humiliated.
Jesus Love Is Soul
I can't do anything about my past, but i can do a lot to cooperate with my destiny. i am re-created in christ jesus, born anew, that i might do the good works that he laid out for me and live the good life.
Jesus Good Life Past
Stop comparing or boast at your victories. he was referring to enormous vitality and strength of god of jesus seeking union with us. the living acts of a christian become somehow the acts of christ.
Christian Jesus Victory
In the moment when you make the least petition to god, though it be but a silent wish that he may approve you, or add one moment to your life,--do you not, in the very act, necessarily exclude all other beings from your thought? in that act, the soul stands alone with god, and jesus is no more present to your mind than your brother or your child.
God Jesus Brother
