This is one of the great paradoxes of suffering. Those who don't suffer much think suffering should keep people from God, while many who suffer a great deal turn to God, not from him.

Image
Cheap grace replaces truth with tolerance, lowering the bar so everyone can jump over it and we can all feel good about ourselves.

God comes right out and tells us why he gives us more money than we need. It's not so we can find more ways to spend it. It's not so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children. It's not so we can insulate ourselves from needing God's provision. It's so we can give and give generously (2 Corinthians 8:14 9:11)

What you do with your resources in this life is your autobiography.

You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person. Heaven is the place.

Image
Give sacrificially. We don't like risky faith. We like to have our safety net below us. But we miss the adventure of seeing God provide when we've really stretched ourselves in giving.

Image
The repentant man rightfully loses trust in himself. He recognizes his self-dependence as the source of his problems, not the solution.

Image
Worry is momentary atheism crying out for correction by trust in a good, sovereign God. Suffering breaks self-reliance.

Image
The more you give, the more comes back to you, because God is the greatest giver in the universe, and He won't let you outgive Him. Go ahead and try. See what happens.

Image
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God's grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.

Jesus tells you exactly how to get it. Put your money in missions-and in your church and the poor-and your heart will follow.

You can't take it with you - but you can send it on ahead.

Image
It's dangerous faith in our untamed Savior that leads us to the joy we crave.

Image
Unless we learn how to humbly tell each other our giving stories, our churches will not learn to give.

Wealth is a relational barrier. It keeps us from having open relationships.

Give regularly. Stewardship is not a once-a-year consideration, but a week-to-week, month-to-month commitment requiring discipline and consistency.

Image
God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.

Image
Abundance isn't God's provision for me to live in luxury. It's his provision for me to help others live. God entrusts me with his money not to build my kingdom on earth, but to build his kingdom in heaven.

You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person. Heaven is the place.

Earth is a in-between world touched by both Heaven and Hell. Earth leads directly into Heaven or directly into Hell, affording a choice between the two. The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell.
