“Love means giving up - yielding my preferences, comfort, goals, security, money, energy, or time for the benefit of someone else.”

“Did you notice the phrase by his power in that last Bible verse? This is what makes The Daniel Plan different from other approaches. It is built on trusting in God’s power to help you change, not merely your own willpower.”

“Without a purpose, life is motion without meaning, activity without direction, and events without reason. Without a purpose, life is trivial, petty, and pointless.”

“Al fin de tu vida en la tierra serás evaluado y recompensado de acuerdo con la manera en que uses lo que Dios te confió. Eso significa todo lo que hagas. Hasta las tareas más simples tienen repercusión eterna. Si todo lo tratas como un encargo, con responsabilidad, Dios promete tres recompensas en la eternidad. La primera, Dios te dará su aprobación y te dirá: «¡Buen trabajo, bien hecho!». Segundo, se te dará un ascenso y una responsabilidad mayor en la eternidad: «Te pondré a cargo de muchas cosas». Entonces serás honrado con un festejo: «Ven y comparte la felicidad del Maestro». Mucha gente no logra darse cuenta de que el dinero es ambas cosas, tanto una prueba como un fideicomiso de Dios. Dios usa las finanzas para enseñarnos a confiar en él, y para mucha gente, el dinero es la prueba más grande de todas. Dios observa cómo lo usamos para probar qué tan confiables somos. La Biblia dice: «Si ustedes no han sido honrados en el uso de las riquezas mundanas, ¿quién les confiará las verdaderas?»

“Love should be your top priority, primary objective, and greatest ambition. Love is not a good part of your life; it’s the most important part. The Bible says, “Let love be your greatest aim.”

“IT IS YOUR JOB TO PROTECT THE UNITY OF YOUR CHURCH. Unity in the church is so important that the New Testament gives more attention to it than to either heaven or hell. God deeply desires that we experience oneness and harmony with each other. Unity is the soul of fellowship. Destroy it, and you rip the heart out of Christ’s Body. It is the essence, the core, of how God intends for us to experience life together in his church. Our supreme model for unity is the Trinity. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are completely unified as one. God himself is the highest example of sacrificial love, humble other-centeredness, and perfect harmony.”

“Your value doesn’t come from the clothes you wear, a number on a scale, your career, or your success with a health plan on any given day. You are of immense value because God made you.”
