“Loving more and more means gathering more and more, which means minding the store, and then being generous with what you have gained. We give in order to get, in order that we might be able to give even more.”

Honest Giving
“Now the great Pauline principle here is ‘mind thine own business.’ Tend to thine own knitting. You do this, not because you are telling the rest of the body to get lost, but rather because you need to acquire something before you can give it. You cannot give what you do not have, and cannot have something to give unless you came by it honestly.”

Two Wills
“And remember there are also times when the two kinds of wills intersect. When Jesus died on the cross, it was the will of God (Luke 22:42; Acts 4:26-28) even though it was accomplished by wicked hands (Acts 2:23). The violation of God’s preceptive will by Judas, Herod, Pontius Pilate, and the Sanhedrin was the instrument God used to accomplish His decretive will. We must always remember that God is God, and we are not.”
