Quote

A disciple does not ask, How much can I keep? but, How much more can I give? Whenever we start to get comfortable with our level of giving, it's time to raise it again.

Whenever we have excess, giving should be our natural response. It should be the automatic decision, the obvious thing to do in light of Scripture and human need.

Whenever I see an unmarried woman carrying a child, my first response is one of respect. I know she could have taken the quick fix without anyone knowing, but she chose instead to let an innocent child live.
