Every good thing in the Christian life grows in the soil of humility. Without humility, every virtue and every grace withers. That’s why Calvin said humility is first, second, and third in the Christian faith.

The greatest act of freeing happened when Jesus died in our place and paid our debt.

God has given us prayer as a wartime walkie-talkie so that we can call headquarters for everything we need as the kingdom of Christ advances in the world. Prayer gives us the significance of front-line forces, and gives God the glory of a limitless Provider. The one who gives the power gets the glory. Thus prayer safeguards the supremacy of God in missions while linking us with endless grace for every need.

God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace.

The ministry and mission of the church is at the center of Christian giving.
