Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.

God is grooming us for leadership. He's watching to see how we demonstrate our faithfulness. He does that through his apprenticeship program, one that prepares us for Heaven. Christ is not simply preparing a place for us; he is preparing us for that place.

Something nonhuman doesn’t become human by getting older and bigger; whatever is human is human from the beginning.

Am I getting braver, or just getting accustomed to being terrified?

Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!

For the Christian, death is not the end of adventure but a doorway from a wold where dreams and adventures shrink, to a world where dreams and adventures forever expand.

The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.
