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

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

To turn the tide of materialism in the Christian community, we desperately need bold models of kingdom-centered living. Despite our need to do it in a way that doesn't glorify people, we must hear each other's stories about giving or else our people will not learn to give.

Sin and death and suffering and war and poverty are not natural—they are the devastating results of our rebellion against God. We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day.

The cost of redemption cannot be overstated. The wonders of grace cannot be overemphasized. Christ took the hell He didn't deserve so we could have the heaven we don't deserve.

For Christians this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven.
