    We learned in school that when you give things away, you end up with less. But that's not how it works with God.

    Somewhere around the third or fourth grade, you and I learned to do math word problems. And they would say things like, "If you had $1,000 and you gave away $100, how much would you have left?" And we all learned $900. In other words, we started with $1,000. After giving away $100, we only have ...read more
