God calls us to put Him first; there will never be a time where it’s okay to put ourselves first. We also don’t have the choice of going back to the way it was before we became Christians, which is going by faith and not by sight and keeping our commitments of both time and money. Finally, any ministry in this world that has nothing but an upward spiral, and never has any setbacks, is simply not God’s ministry because the faithful church ministry will be attacked by the enemy. Haggai 1. VF-0623. © Copyright 1989
