UNSTOPPABLE
More than a common-interest group, social group, business, or even industry, the Church is the means by which God keeps His promise to rescue and redeem all of this broken world. When we understand, therefore, the presence we have constantly still with us and the power still at work through us we can join in with the very earliest Christians to see the Kingdom of God continue to come on earth as it is in heaven.

It's Sacrificial
In the Old Testament, God's people would from time to time make sacrificial offerings. We tend to think of sacrifice as something bad - that we're losing something. But biblically, sacrificial giving is something we do as a humbled response to God's goodness. From time to time, we want to sacrifice something for God's work - and in fact the missing of "that thing" we sacrifice reminds us of God's graciousness. Delaying a car purchase one year, reducing your level of vacation, magazine subscriptions, going to the movies - all these things we could willingly sacrifice as our gesture of appreciation to God and to support His work. Remembering, as Christians, our salvation is secured by the willing sacrifice of Christ. We recognized that as in all things, God sacrificed first - we are merely responding.
