"All Christians, like the Apostles, are to move toward need, not toward safety and comfort." - John Piper commenting on 2Cor 6:1â13

"True wealth = Being so satisfied in Christ that we're able to be radically rich in good deeds" - Me
George Müller - "A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honoured in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised."
All of life's implications need to be sourced from and driven by the Gospel! We love others sacrificially, because we were first loved through the ultimate sacrifice on the Cross! We pour out ourselves in selfless service to others, because Christ came not to be served, but to serve and give His life as a Ransom for many! We must preach the whole Gospel of the whole Christ to the whole of humanity while wholeheartedly giving ourselves for His sake and the sake of others!
"Whatever we keep only for ourselves, we will eventually lose. But whatever we give away in the Name of Christ for the sake of others will outlive us and last forever!" - Me
âMany of God's dear children experience seasons of depression and despondency. In some cases it is due to temperamentâa naturally gloomy disposition; with others, it comes from a physical condition. But this is part of the trying of their faith which God has ordained for themâto trust Him amid the shadows.â - A.W. Pink (The Life of Arthur W. Pink, pg.155).
"The greatest use of a life is to spend it for something that will outlast it." - William Ja...Expand for more

"We cannot all leave a prestigious background or a portfolio of financial wealth for our children, but we can and must leave them a legacy of love, truth, and integrity." - Me
"What makes greatness is starting something that lives after you." - Ralph Sockman
Immortality lies not in the things you leave behind, but in the people your life has touched.
The ultimate test of man's conscience may be his willingness to sacrifice something today for future generations whose words of thanks will not be heard.
"There is a thirst for happiness in the soul of man, but there is a drought in all things but in God." â Edward Griffin
"To live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21
The poorest person is not the one who doesn't have a penny in his pocket but the one without a dream and vision.
"All we have to give to the next generation is what we have become." - Crawford Loritts
"When we are dreaming alone, it is only a dream. When we are dreaming with others, it is the beginning of reality." - D.H. Camara
Heroes. We need them. In the human heart God has placed a longing for heroes. A person in our lives who serves as our role model of integrity and perseverance in the face of overwhelming obstacles, but even more than that, one who rescues us in our troubles and inspires us to be heroes. No one fits that description in human history better than Jesus Christ, and by Him all heroes are measured.
The God-fearing pursuit of personal and practical holiness will always include greater degrees of loving our neigbors and sacrificially giving to those who have need. - Me
"Wherever the fear of God rules in the heart, it will appear both in works of charity and piety, and neither will excuse us from the other." - Matthew Henry
"My life is far too dear to waste it on myself!" - Jim Elliot
"Money is only a means to glorify God and to do as much good in Christ's Name as we are able!" - Me".
