Sin is an alibi for the truth.
Truth never changes only the reasons we fail to embrace it differ.
God does not get better and better every day we just discover more of Him each day.
Giving is the beginning of God’s trickle down economy.
To be fair to others, God says. I can’t let you get by with it.
