The tithe is a wonderful goal but a terrible place to stop.

The local church is the hope of the world.

You can live and lead small, live and lead safe, live and lead selfishly, or you can pursue a grander vision.

We will probably have to pay a price for devoting our lives to building the kingdom of God. Jesus did.

Prayerless people cut themselves off from God's prevailing power, and the frequent result is the familiar feeling of being overwhelmed, overrun, beaten down, pushed around, defeated. Surprising numbers of people are willing to settle for lives like that.

It's one thing to see a vision; it's another thing to be seized by a vision.

Build something with enduring value.
