    Prayer is more important than giving, because when we pray, we are moved to give. How can we face life's tests without prayer, our spiritual study? Life's tests are much harder.

    Winning over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord doesn't come from telling them to change their ways. It comes from following Jesus' command to love others as we love ourselves.

    How can we win over our friends, family, and neighbors to the Lord? It's not by pointing out their faults or telling them how to change their lives.

    Generosity is more than just giving material possessions, it's about giving all we are and have in the Spirit to glorify God. This attitude of giving brings greater glory to God.
