There is a powerful relationship between our true spiritual condition and our attitude and actions concerning money and possessions.

To procrastinate obedience is to disobey God.

Too often we assume that God has increased our income to increase our standard of living, when his stated purpose is to increase our standard of giving. (Look again at 2 Corinthians 8:14 and 9:11).

Unless we learn how to humbly tell each other our giving stories, our churches will not learn to give.

Not being interested in other cultures is the normal state of mankind.

Choose your words carefully. They reveal your inner character.
