Distance is no barrier to the love of God.

God is able to transform the hostile intentions of wicked people into blessings for His people.

The worship practices of the people of God are to be marked by devotion to Him and compassion to the needy.

Some believers tend to forget God's persistent faithfulness in the face of the spectacular and showy.

Protection of human life can be costly; but so is the neglect of that protection.

Truth can be attested by the supernatural, but so can falsehood.

The heart that delights in God and longs only to see His glory advance will seldom be conscious of sacrifice. God in His wisdom asks that we first love Him and then live in keeping with that core value. He does not want His people to think of what they do as sacrificial, even though from the world's point of view it may be just that. Gratitude for grace of God will always be found near the center of the Biblical Christian's most powerful motivations.
