Mark Batterson said this quote

“ The goal of marriage is not happiness, it is holiness...There is no mechanism whereby God can sanctify a person more than having them live in close proximity to another imperfect person....Our fundamental problem is that we are selfish. Marriage is the means whereby God eradicates our selfishness because it is not about me anymore, i t is about we. ”

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.
