If He says something will work, it will. He is the deliverer of all things. \nThe Word of God can spread through any good thing. \nIt’s not a matter of money - that should not be the focus. It is all God’s and it is all about what brings Him glory. \nUse your LIFE (Labor, Influence, Finances, Expertise) for Christ. \n\n\n\n\"Don't focus on things. Don't focus on possessions. Focus on what God wants you to use that money for. As it says in Luke, our focus should be on the eternal things of souls of men and women.\" —  Ed Thomas\n\n\n\nAbout Ed Thomas: Ed is an entrepreneurial owner of several businesses with his 2 sons (Stephen and Paul), in healthcare, real estate, and water management.
