More quotes by Randy Alcorn
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
For the Christian, death is not the end of adventure but a doorway from a wold where dreams and adventures shrink, to a world where dreams and adventures forever expand.
Randy Alcorn
Materialism is a fruitless attempt to find meaning outside of God. When we try to find ultimate fulfillment in a person other than Christ or a place other than heaven, we become idolaters. According to Scripture, materialism is not only evil it is tragic and pathetic.
Randy Alcorn
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.
Randy Alcorn
Real gold fears no fire.

The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.
Randy Alcorn
Heaven isn't an extrapolation of earthly thinking Earth is an extension of Heaven, made by the Creator King.

God loves a great story, and all of us who know Him will recall and celebrate and continue to live in that story for all eternity.

Cheap grace replaces truth with tolerance, lowering the bar so everyone can jump over it and we can all feel good about ourselves.

Parents who spoil their children out of 'love' should realize that they are performing acts of child abuse. Although there are no laws against such abuse--no man-made laws anyway--this spiritual mistreatment may result in as much long-term personal and social damage as the worst physical abuse.

A disciple does not ask, How much can I keep? but, How much more can I give? Whenever we start to get comfortable with our level of giving, it's time to raise it again.

I imagine our first glimpse of Heaven will cause us to gasp in amazement and delight. That first gasp will likely be followed by many more as we continually encounter new sights in that endlessly wonderful place.

There's a timeless truth behind the concept of giving God our firstfruits. Whether or not the tithe is still the minimal measure of those firstfruits, I ask myself, Does God expect His New Covenant children to give less or more? Jesus raised the spiritual bar He never lowered it.
Randy Alcorn
Selfishness is when we pursue gain at the expense of others. But God doesn’t have a limited number of treasures to distribute. When you store up treasures for yourself in heaven, it doesn’t reduce the treasures available to others. In fact, it is by serving God and others that we store up heavenly treasures. Everyone gains no one loses.

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.

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

Grace and truth are spiritual DNA, the building blocks of Christ-centered living.

To procrastinate obedience is to disobey God.

Countless mistakes in marriage, parenting, ministry, and other relationships are failures to balance grace and truth. Sometimes we neglect both. Often we choose one over the other.
