Giving is the safety valve that releases the excess pressure of wealth.

Real gold fears no fire.

Tithing isn't the ceiling of giving; it's the floor. It's not the finish line of giving; it's just the starting blocks. Tithes can be the training wheels to launch us into the mind-set, skills, and habits of grace giving.

Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God's grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.

My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.

What we love about this life are the things that resonate with the life we were made for. The things we love are not merely the best this life has to offer—they are previews of the greater life to come.

Wealth is a relational barrier. It keeps us from having open relationships.
