Christians are viewed as being judgmental, homophobic, moralists who think they are the only ones going to heaven and who secretly relish the fact that everyone else is going to hell.

While generosity may be the antidote for the dizzying effects of wealth, your appetite for more may function as an antidote against God-honoring generosity. Your appetite for more stuff, status, and security has the potential to quash your efforts to be generous. And that's a problem.

[God] wants you to go home, look at your bucket of seed, and determine in your heart how much you'd like to sow. He wants you to consider thoughtfully your current circumstances, your life, your potential, and your finances. He wants you to involve your family. He wants you to pray about it. And then He wants you to come up with a plan.

It takes a habit to break a habit. You can pray every day for a generous heart, but until you start acting in that direction, nothing's going to change.

When happiness points in one direction while wisdom, truth, integrity, and common sense point in another, that's when really smart people start doing really stupid things.

Communicators need to figure out how well do they engage people, and they should not talk one word longer than people are engaged.

Personal Vision is often the catalyst for wise decisions.

Two things make a relationship providential: when we hear from God through someone and when we see God in someone.

No matter how rich or poor you might feel, right now is the time to be generous.

We always have more ideas than we can fund.

Jesus is the hope of the world and the local church is the vehicle of expressing that hope to the world.

We begin selling ourselves on what we want to do rather than what we ought to do. We listen to ourselves until we believe our own lies, and the we opt for happiness.
