The most effective form of retaliation is an absence of retaliation…leaving all the vengeance to God. In doing so, we “will heap burning coals” on the head of an adversary, which is nothing more than overcoming evil with good (read Romans 12:20-21). (See Proverbs 25:21-22)

Life is literally filled with God-appointed storms. We all experience them; we all need them. The massive blows and shattering blasts (not to mention the little, consistent irritations) smooth us and humble us and force us to submit to the script God has written and the role He has chosen for us. (See Nahum 1:2-3)

People often ask when the next step in evolution - the step to something beyond man - will happen. But in the Christian view, it has happened already. In Christ a new kind of man appeared: and the new kind of life which began in Him is to be put into us.
~ C. S. Lewis 1898 - 1963

Do you have a shallow concept of God? Almighty God is not a kindly grandfather or neighborhood buddy. He is the Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer and Judge of the entire universe. He deserves - indeed demands - our utmost reverence and ultimate obedience. And He expects nothing less. (See Exodus 19:10-13)

Four simple suggestions for giving with gusto: Reflect on God's gifts to you. Remind yourself of His promises regarding generosity. Examine your heart, and ask yourself, "Is my giving proportionate to my income? Am I motivated by guilt, or by contagious joy? If someone else knew the level of my giving, would I be a model to follow?" Finally, trust God to honor consistent generosity. (See Exodus 35:20-21)"
