God never asks us to give what we do not have . . . But he cannot use what we will not give.

If we truly love God, we will express it by loving our neighbors, and when we truly love our neighbors, it expresses our love for God.

If I have learned anything about the purpose, meaning, and significance of life over the years, I have learned that, for a Christian, it is not found in any job, even a job like mine. It is not found in any human relationship, no matter how important. Nor is it found in any accomplishment, no matter how significant. Meaning, purpose, and significance are found only by aligning our lives with God's purposes in lives committed to following Jesus Christ.

What if we actually demonstrated God's love for the world instead of just talking about it?

Love always requires tangible expression. It needs hands and feet.

I believe that this could very well be looked back on as the sin of our generation...I believe that our children and their children, 40 or 50 years from now, are going to ask me, what did you do while 40 million children became orphans in Africa?

What if there are children who will suffer somehow because I failed to obey God? What if my cowardice costs even one child somewhere in the world his or her life?
