"What God's Word declares as true prosperity will only come in response to a personal submission to the truth. God will not give you a Bentley as a reward. Bentleys are purchased by knowing how to make money. When God prospers you He will give you a piece of Himself. Nothing about God's nature is instant. It is line upon line, precept upon precept (Isaiah 28:10). God uses one generation to build upon another. It is also covenantal; which means it is providential more than it is miraculous."
"When you do not leave the next generation something to build on, that is a clue that their potential deterioration was not a concern to you.....Generational thinking means seeing great spiritual reform in terms of stages that will likely take longer than we would be in our prime to faciliate."
