...I fear...

"It is not persecution of the church in China that I fear. The church has always been able to weather persecution. My fear is love of money in the church." ~ Chinese pastor

Fasting...

"Is fasting ever a bribe to get God to pay more attention to the petitions ? No, a thousand times no. It is simply a way to make clear that we sufficiently reverence the amazing opportunity to ask help from the everlasting God, the Creator of the universe, to choose to put everything else aside and concentrate on worshiping, asking forgiveness, and making our requests known-considering His help more important than anything we could do ourselves in our own strength and with our own ideas." ~ Edith Schaeffer

Read Your Bible

‎"Begin reading your Bible this very day. The way to do a thing is to do it, and the way to read the Bible is actually to read it. It is not meaning, or wishing, or resolving, or intending, or thinking about it; that will not advance you one step. You must positively read." ~ J.C. Ryle

Purpose of Tithing

"The purpose of tithing is to secure not the tithe but the tither, not the gift but the giver, not the possession but the possessor, not your money but you for God." ~ Anonymous
