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.
Rick WarrenMany believe one can be a "good Christian" without joining (or even attending) a local church, but God would strongly disagree.
Rick WarrenThe fact is, ministry is too unpredictable to be motivated by security. Itโs too unprofitable to be motivated by money. Itโs too demanding to be motivated by pleasure, and itโs too criticized to be motivated by fame. Our ministry should be motivated by the pleasure of God, and God is pleased when we have a ministry powered by faith.
