ANECDOTE

Widow's Offering Multiplied With God

  • Dallas explains the widow's offering as giving with God, which made her gift greater than wealthy donors' offerings.
  • He uses that story to show kingdom action multiplies our small acts when offered in union with God.
INSIGHT

Grace Works Often Unseen

  • Grace is God acting in our lives to accomplish what we cannot accomplish on our own.
  • Much of that action is visible only in hindsight, so we learn to trust God's present help by remembering past deliverances.
ADVICE

Speak To Give Grace

  • Speak with the consciousness of God with you so your words can give grace to those who hear.
  • Avoid cleverness and aim to edify according to the need of the moment.
