Quote

Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God's grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.

Jesus' miracles provide us with a sample of the meaning of redemption: a freeing of creation from the shackles of sin and evil and a reinstatement of creaturely living as intended by God.

Too often we assume that God has increased our income to increase our standard of living, when his stated purpose is to increase our standard of giving. (Look again at 2 Corinthians 8:14 and 9:11).
Randy Alcorn
Image
Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.
Randy Alcorn
Image
Give deliberately. Giving is at its best when it's a conscious effort that's repeatedly made.

Image
Heaven isn't an extrapolation of earthly thinking Earth is an extension of Heaven, made by the Creator King.
Randy Alcorn
Image
Give sacrificially. We don't like risky faith. We like to have our safety net below us. But we miss the adventure of seeing God provide when we've really stretched ourselves in giving.
Randy Alcorn
Image
The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.

Image
Many Christians dread the thought of leaving this world. Why? Because so many have stored up their treasures on earth, not in heaven. Each day brings us closer to death. If your treasures are on earth, that means each day brings you closer to losing your treasures.

Image
This is one of the great paradoxes of suffering. Those who don't suffer much think suffering should keep people from God, while many who suffer a great deal turn to God, not from him.

You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person. Heaven is the place.

Are we truly obeying the command to love our neighbor as ourselves if we're storing up money for potential future needs when our neighbor is laboring today under actual present needs?

Image
It's dangerous faith in our untamed Savior that leads us to the joy we crave.

Image
When you leave this world, will you be known as one who accumulated treasures on earth that you couldn't keep? Or will you be recognized as one who invested treasures in heaven that you couldn't lose?
Randy Alcorn
Image
By trusting Christ's redemptive work for us, we can enter into what we long for: the happiness found only in God.
Randy Alcorn
Image
But isn't it wrong to be motivated by reward? No, it isn't. If it were wrong, Christ wouldn't offer it to us a motivation.

Image
Jesus tells you exactly how to get it. Put your money in missions-and in your church and the poor-and your heart will follow.

Image
Give cheerfully. If we're not cheerful, the problem is our heart, and the solution is redirecting our heart, not withholding our giving.

It's a law of life: the tyranny of things.

When you leave this world, will you be known as one who accumulated treasures on earth that you couldn't keep? Or will you be recognized as one who invested treasures in heaven that you couldn't lose?

Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!
