Prosperity cannot be a proof of God's favor, since it is what the devil promises to those who worship him. (Matt. 4:9)

To be a Christian is to move toward need, not comfort.

The great danger of riches is that our affections will be carried away from God to His gifts.

It has to do with seeing God. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8).

The highest act of love is the giving of the best gift, and, if necessary, at the greatest cost, to the least deserving. That's what God did. At the loss of His Son's life to the totally undeserving, God gave the best gift - the display of the glory of Christ who is the image of God.

The gospel is not a way to get people to heaven; it is a way to get people to God.

The immensity of His worth is reflected in the intensity of your worship.
