Mark Batterson said this quote

“ Grace is loving people for who they are, where they are. It's loving people *before* they change, not just *after* they change. And that grace is the difference between holy and holier-than-thou. Holiness, in its purest form, is irresistible. That's why sinners couldn't be kept away from Jesus. Hypocrisy has the opposite effect. It's as repulsive to the irreligious as the Pharisees' religiosity was to Jesus. ”

When God blesses you financially, don't raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.

Throwing down your staff is letting go and letting God. And that's counterintuitive for those of us who are control freaks. As our executive pastor Joel Schmidgall likes to say, You can have faith or you can have control, but you cannot have both. If you want God to do something off the chart, you have to take your hands off the controls.
