So give to the poor; I'm begging you, I'm warning you, I'm commanding you, I'm ordering you.

When you give, you reveal a spiritual truth, that the flow of life never runs dry.

We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs in a heart that is in LOVE WITH GOD.

... only love begets love.

As God loves a cheerful giver, so he also loves a cheerful taker. Who takes hold of his gifts with a glad heart.

I love everything about the Christmas season.

Most leaders assume that everybody who comes to church knows God's mind on financial matters. But the truth is that many people are absolutely clueless regarding the basic principles of Christian financial management. Leaders and teachers need to educate their congregations before they can expect them to honor God with their money and eventually get excited about resourcing the church.

The world writes books with titles like Think and Grow Rich, but if Jesus were writing for today's market, he'd title his book Love and Give Everything Away.

I've already said you can't take anything from me that I wouldn't freely give you.

There is my first insight, young woman. Always downplay the value of money; it will make it much easier for him to hand it over.

To expect to continue controlling the use of money and the ministry overseas from our foreign-based mission board is an extension of colonialism. It adds an unbiblical element, which only humiliates and weakens the national missionaries in the long run. Christians need to learn that they are not giving their money to national workers, but God's money to His work overseas.

Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received--only what you have given.
