Love leaves legacy. How you treated other people, not your wealth or accomplishments, is the most enduring impact you can leave on earth.

In every growing church you will find leadership that is not afraid to believe God.

There's much you can't change, but there's something important you can change: you.

The fact is, you can say you love God and sing that you trust God and put him first, but your checkbook is where you can show just how much God's grace means to you.

Then Jesus changed the situation. When he paid for our sins on the cross, the veil in the temple that symbolized our separation from God was split from top to bottom, indicating that direct access to God was once again available.

Measured against eternity, our time on earth is just a blink of an eye, but the consequences of it will last forever.
