Non-churchgoer s tend to see Christians as takers rather than givers. When Christians sacrifice and give wildly to the poor, that is truly a light that glimmers. The Bible teaches that the church is to be that light, that sign of hope, in an increasingly dark and hopeless world.
Francis ChanWe say to the Creator of all this magnitude and majesty, โWell, Iโm not sure You are worth itโฆ. You see, I really like my car, or my little sin habit, or my money, and Iโm really not sure I want to give them up, even if it means I get You.โ
Francis ChanWhich is more messed up- that we have so much compared to everyone else, or that we don't think we're rich? That on any given day, we might flippantly call ourselves 'broke' or 'poor?' We are neither of those things. We are rich. Filthy rich.
