Pray with reverence, not half-heartedness.

Your problems are not just your problems. Ultimately, they belong to the church body that God has placed you in.

When it's hard and you are doubtful, give more.

If a guy were dating my daughter but didn't want to spend the gas money to come pick her up or refused to buy her dinner because it cost too much, I would question whether he were really in love with her In the same way, I question whether many American churchgoers are really in love with God because they are so hesitant to do anything for Him."

God never breaks His promises.

When we work for Christ out of obligation, it feels like work. But when we truly love Christ, our work is a manifestation of that love, and it feels like love.
