Always be ready to give a good testimony for the Lord, but remember that the best testimony a Christian can have is a love for others and good work habits.

Most Christians are more than content to live out their lives surrounded by the trappings of our world, rather than to risk losing them in becoming a radical Christian. A radical Christian (by my definition) is one who will put God first in all decisions, even when putting God first is costly. In the business world, this means putting God first even when doing so costs money. That is true freedom - spiritual freedom - as opposed to business bondage.

...when I prayed to receive Jesus Christ as my Savior, I had made that promise...: 'If You'll make Your will for my clear, I'll do it no matter what!'

Decide that you're going to love the people around you, even those you don't particularly like - or perhaps especially those you don't like.

My greatest fear in life is standing before the Lord and hearing Him say, ‘I had so much more for you, but you held on too tightly.’

When we surrender every area of our lives- including our finances-to God, then we are free to trust Him to meet our needs. But if we would rather hold tightly to those things that we possess, then we find ourselves in bondage to those very things.

When you don't know what the answer is, you know *Who* the answer is.
