Secret #1 - Shun It Like the Plague
It's not the $11 trillion national debt that bothers the majority of us most, it's our own personal debt: credit cards, student loans, etc. If you're in this camp, there are steps you can take, an attitude you can adopt and a promise you can trust that will make all the difference.

Secret #2 - Tap into the Economy of Empty
It's a story hard for a skeptical world to believe, but a story filled with power. Tap into the message of the empty coffin to a generation filled suffering from empty coffers.

You may have heard it said, and it is true that patience is a virtue. What is also true and closely linked to patience is found in the opening verse of the parable of Luke 18:1-8 (NIV). Jesus told his disciples that they should “always pray and not give up” (verse 1). In today’s fast paced, instant, and have-to-get-it-now world, learning to be patient and not lose heart or become discouraged is surely a quality that is desirable. The widow in this parable showed the importance of being patient in one’s petitions and pursuits.

In her attempt to get the judge to defend her against her enemy, who seemed to have been making her life difficult, she kept on asking for his defense. Finally, the judge yielded to her persistence and vindicated her.

The same is true of God. When we are diligent in our prayer life, longsuffering when we are seeking to invoke Christ’s intervention, and faithful in honoring Him in our stewardship, He will move to positive action. Let us remember that unlike the judge we cannot wear out God. 

Today, as we worship Him through the return of our tithes and giving of our offerings, let us practice being persistent in honoring Him with our substance and the first fruit of our increase.
