Rick Warren, author of the bestselling book, The Purpose–Driven Life, once picked up a Bible concordance — an index to the Bible — and did a little word count. He discovered that the word “believe, believing, believer” is mentioned 275 times in the Bible. The word “pray, praying, prayer” is mentioned 371 times. The word “love, loving, loves” — as you might expect — is mentioned way more often: 714 times. But then he looked up the word “give, giving, giver.” That word occurs no fewer than 2,162 times.
