_How many persons do you know by name today who were won to Christ by you and are living for Him? Not how many go to church. Are they living for Christ now?

_What will it take to jar us out of our complacency and send us home to pray, "God give me someone I can bring to Christ, or let me take one who is already in Christ, an infant in Christ, and try to train that one so that he or she will reproduce!"

"There's a popular bumper sticker that reads "God Bless America," but hasn’t America already been blessed? It's easy for us to fall into a mindset of viewing "our" world as "the" world, because it's all we generally see. We're constantly bombarded with images of the latest styles and models of everything, and it can easily leave us feeling like what we have isn’t enough because we see people that have even more than us.

But how does what we have compare to what most people in the world have? Maybe what we have is enough; maybe it’s more than enough. Maybe God has blessed us with everything we have so we can bless and give to others."

all the riches of the kings end up in wills;

nothing lasts in this life
