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
Worry is momentary atheism crying out for correction by trust in a good, sovereign God. Suffering breaks self-reliance.
Randy Alcorn
God comes right out and tells us why he gives us more money than we need. It's not so we can find more ways to spend it. It's not so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children. It's not so we can insulate ourselves from needing God's provision. It's so we can give and give generously (2 Corinthians 8:14 9:11)
Randy Alcorn
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
From beginning to end, Scripture repeatedly emphasizes God's ownership of everything: To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it .When I grasp that I'm a steward, not an owner, it totally changes my perspective.
Randy Alcorn
Heaven isn't an extrapolation of earthly thinking Earth is an extension of Heaven, made by the Creator King.
Randy Alcorn
Cheap grace replaces truth with tolerance, lowering the bar so everyone can jump over it and we can all feel good about ourselves.
Randy Alcorn
Unless we learn how to humbly tell each other our giving stories, our churches will not learn to give.
Randy Alcorn
Hell is not evil it's a place where evil gets punished. Hell is not pleasant, appealing, or encouraging. But Hell is morally good, because a good God must punish evil.
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
Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.
Randy Alcorn
Earth is a in-between world touched by both Heaven and Hell. Earth leads directly into Heaven or directly into Hell, affording a choice between the two. The best of life on Earth is a glimpse of Heaven the worst of life is a glimpse of Hell.
Randy Alcorn
Someday this upside-down world will be turned right side up. Nothing in all eternity will turn it back again. If we are wise, we will use our brief lives on earth positioning ourselves for the turn.
Randy Alcorn
I detest legalism. I certainly don't want to try to pour new wine into old wineskins, imposing superseded First Covenant restrictions on Christians. But at the same time, every New Testament example of giving goes far beyond the tithe. However, none falls short of it.
Randy Alcorn
If we were to gain God's perspective, even for a moment, and were to look at the way we go through life accumulating and hoarding and displaying our things, we would have the same feelings of horror and pity that any sane person has when he views people in an asylum endlessly beating their heads against the wall.
Randy Alcorn
The cost of redemption cannot be overstated. The wonders of grace cannot be overemphasized. Christ took the hell He didn't deserve so we could have the heaven we don't deserve.
Randy Alcorn
You can't take it with you - but you can send it on ahead.
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
Give more as you make more. Remember: God prospers us not to raise our standard of living, but to raise our standard of giving.
Randy Alcorn
Give cheerfully. If we're not cheerful, the problem is our heart, and the solution is redirecting our heart, not withholding our giving.
