You know, I've determined that churches all over the world are trying to figure out how they can give God less and still be productive.

And I sort of feel a prophetic responsibility to swing the pendulum in the other direction.

Amen?

And we're as the eyes of the Lord roamed to and fro about the earth, he's going to know there's

They give God the best they have every time.

Because it's not an intellectual equation.

It's an intimacy process.
