The best things in life are gifts from the One who steadfastly loves us. But an important question to ask ourselves is this: are we in love with God or just His stuff?

We are loaded down with too many good things, more than we could ever need, while others are desperate for a small loaf. The good things we cling to are more than money; we hoard our resources, our gifts, our time, our families, out friends....how ludicrous it is to hold on to the abundance God has given us and merely repeat the words 'thank you'.

We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving ourselves because we were made to do these things.

Lukewarm people will serve God and others, but there are limits to how far they will go or how much time, money, and energy they are willing to give.

True faith means holding nothing back. It means putting every hope in God's fidelity to His Promises.

When the church really takes on the humble characteristics of Christ, that's going to lead to revival.

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