Nothing is more dangerous than to live out the will of God in today's contemporary world. It changes your whole monetary lifestyle...Let me put it quite simply: If Jesus had $40,000 and knew about the kids who are suffering and dying in Haiti, what kind of car would he buy?

An evangelical is somebody who, first of all, has a very high view of Scripture, believes it's an infallible message from God.

It is hard to say what the future holds, but this is probable - it won't be just like the past.
