Jesus tells you exactly how to get it. Put your money in missions-and in your church and the poor-and your heart will follow.

Are you winning the battle against materialism?

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.

God loves a great story, and all of us who know Him will recall and celebrate and continue to live in that story for all eternity.

In Illinois a pregnant woman who takes an illegal drug can be prosecuted for 'delivering a controlled substance to a minor.' This is an explicit recognition that the unborn is a person with rights of her own. But that same woman who is prosecuted and jailed for endangering her child is perfectly free to abort her child. In America today, it is illegal to harm your preborn child, but it is perfectly legal to kill him.

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

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.
