The Lord does not need your tithing, as far as He is concerned, but you need it for your growth, spiritually and temporally, that the windows of heaven may be opened and the Spirit of the living God given to you.

May we be strengthened with the understanding that being blessed does not mean that we shall always be spared all the disappointments and difficulties of life.

Thank God we are not to be judged by the opinions of our fellows, but by the work that we do.

No man can teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ under the inspiration of the living God and with power from on high unless he is living it.

He can who thinks he can.

Day-dreams without work do not amount to anything; it is the actual work that counts.

No pains must be spared to wipe out all feeling of diffidence, embarrassment, or shame on the part of those receiving relief; [we] must be one great family of equals. The spiritual welfare of those on relief must receive especial care and be earnestly and prayerfully fostered. A system which gives relief for work or service will go far to reaching these ends.
