Tweetables:
“A faith-driven investor is somebody who has recognized that the Lord owns it all. It's not just about our giving, it's about our stewardship of all of the resources.”
“I can't imagine meeting Jesus having spent 97 and a half percent on myself. It just does not seem like ‘well done, good and faithful servant’”.
“There's a disciplined way to start building our giving muscle. When you have money to give, you have the opportunity to go and bless and be blessed by pouring money into ministries that are doing great work. That's the joy of our life.”
