“Al fin de tu vida en la tierra serás evaluado y recompensado de acuerdo con la manera en que uses lo que Dios te confió. Eso significa todo lo que hagas. Hasta las tareas más simples tienen repercusión eterna. Si todo lo tratas como un encargo, con responsabilidad, Dios promete tres recompensas en la eternidad. La primera, Dios te dará su aprobación y te dirá: «¡Buen trabajo, bien hecho!». Segundo, se te dará un ascenso y una responsabilidad mayor en la eternidad: «Te pondré a cargo de muchas cosas». Entonces serás honrado con un festejo: «Ven y comparte la felicidad del Maestro». Mucha gente no logra darse cuenta de que el dinero es ambas cosas, tanto una prueba como un fideicomiso de Dios. Dios usa las finanzas para enseñarnos a confiar en él, y para mucha gente, el dinero es la prueba más grande de todas. Dios observa cómo lo usamos para probar qué tan confiables somos. La Biblia dice: «Si ustedes no han sido honrados en el uso de las riquezas mundanas, ¿quién les confiará las verdaderas?»

“There are three barriers that block our total surrender to God: fear, pride, and confusion. We don’t realize how much God loves us, we want to control our own lives, and we misunderstand the meaning of surrender.”

“You cannot arrive at your life’s purpose by starting with a focus on yourself. You must begin with God, your Creator. You exist only because God wills that you exist. You were made by God and for God – and until you understand that, life will never make sense. It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.”

“What are you doing personally to make your church family more warm and loving? There are many people in your community who are looking for love and a place to belong. The truth is, everyone needs and wants to be loved, and when people find a church where members genuinely love and care for each other, you would have to lock the doors to keep them away.”
