But then I realize there is never going to be a day when I stand before God and He looks at me and says, 'I wish you would have kept more for yourself.' I'm confident that God will take care of me.

We act, though, not under a utopian illusion that you or I or anyone or everyone together can rid this world of pain and suffering. That responsibility belongs to the resurrected Christ, and he will do it when he returns. But until that day, we do with an undivided heart whatever God calls us to do.

Instead of imagining all the things we can accomplish, we ask God to do what only he can accomplish. Yes, we work, we plan, we organize, and we create, but we do it all while we fast, while we pray, and while we constantly confess our need for the provision of God.

Jesus came to live the life we could not live and to die the death we deserve to die.

We don’t go to Scripture for permission to do what we think is best, but for direction to do what He says is best.

The gospel reveals the glory of God. According to God's Word, he is the sovereign Creator of all things.

Nothing is impossible for the people of God who trust in the power of God to accomplish the will of God.
