No matter how difficult the work or how many times we feel like quitting, we can keep going and growing if we minister the way God tells us to in His Word.

The trouble with too many of us is that we think God called us to be manufacturers when He really called us to be distributors. 

You don’t earn grace, and you don’t deserve grace; you simply receive it as God’s loving gift and then share it with others.

It’s a basic law of the kingdom of God that the servants who know how poor they are become the richest, and those who give the most receive the most and therefore have the most to give.

The best thing we can for for people is not to solve their problems for them but so relate them to God’s grace that they will be enabled to solve their problems and not repeat them.

Selfishness says, “What will I get?” Service says, “What I have I’ll give to you.”

If the motivation for our service is anything less than Christ’s love—His love for us and our love for Him—our ministry will not really meet human needs or glorify God.

God is as concerned about the servant as He is about the service.

God is glorified when people see the Lord and not the servant.

It takes more than a winning personality to influence people for Christ; it takes godly character.

We must put into our Christian living the same kind of discipline that athletes put into sports.

God makes us holy so that He can use us to do the work He want us to do.

God is at work making people more like His Son, and that’s what Christian service is all about.

We who are servants of God don’t deserve His grace any more than the ones we are serving deserve it, and who are we to limit God’s grace and mercy?

The love that we need for ministry is not a natural ability; it’s a supernatural quality that only God can provide. 

One of the best ways to discover the divine resources that others need is to need them yourself and trust God to supply them. 

If our motive for serving is anything other than the glory of God, what we do will be only religious activity and not true Christian ministry.

God is glorified when people see the Master and not the minister.

Build on your strengths, and ask God for helpers who can compensate for your weaknesses.

Obedience to the will of God give you wings, not chains!

What a tragedy it is when Christian leaders sell their character just to make more money or use devious means to get people to donate more money to their work. When money takes over, character goes—and so does ministry.
