[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.

One of the exciting things about being a believer is watching God unveil His plan for our lives.

Money comes, money goes. But your story stays with you the rest of your life.

Don't be fair, be engaged.

When I count other people's blessings I lose sight of mine.

Creating breathing room financially may lower your standard of living but raise your quality of life.

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.
