“We often forget that God has emotions, too. He feels things very deeply. The Bible tells us that God grieves, gets jealous and angry, and feels compassion, pity, sorrow, and sympathy as well as happiness, gladness, and satisfaction. God loves, delights, gets pleasure, rejoices, enjoys, and even laughs!

“The most difficult area to surrender for many people is their money. Many have thought, “I want to live for God but I also want to earn enough money to live comfortably and retire someday.” Retirement is not the goal of a surrendered life, because it competes with God for the primary attention of our lives. Jesus said, “You cannot serve both God and money”14 and “Wherever your treasure is, your heart will be also.”

“Pastor, creo que antes de alcanzar a estas personas nuevas debiéramos tratar de reactivar a todos los miembros viejos que han dejado de venir.” ¡Esta es una estrategia que garantiza la decadencia de su iglesia! No da resultado. Por lo general, se requiere cinco veces más energía para reactivar a un miembro carnal o disgustado que a un inconverso receptivo.”
