Quotes to Remember

  • “It doesn’t matter what I have because it’s not mine; I’m just a steward.”
  • “As you know what your purpose is, then you can figure out where your passions align.”
  • “Start where you are, even if you’ve only given a tiny bit before. You can start anytime to be generous with your time, your treasure, or your talent. It all matters.”
  • “If you want to start being more generous, you have to start with acts of generosity.”

Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.
