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

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).

In the midst of prosperity, the challenge for believers is to handle wealth in such a way that it acts as a blessing, not a curse.

Whenever we have excess, giving should be our natural response. It should be the automatic decision, the obvious thing to do in light of Scripture and human need.

:You Can overcome any obstacle. You can achieve the most tremendous things by faith power.

We have hands that must work, brains that must think, and personalities that must be developed.

Ari felt like, Hellooo, I have wings! I turn into a wolf! Blending is out is out of the question!

Poly means more than one, and ticks are bloodsucking parasites.

Nothing befalls any man which he is not fitted to endure.

The wise man is he who is not surprised when he finds stale tea in a beautiful teapot!

Any take, anything that's recorded while the mic is on, that could be the final take.

Always be patient. I also believe everything happens for a reason.

We need just two players to be a contender. Babe Ruth and Sandy Koufax.
