More quotes by Randy Alcorn
The more you give, the more comes back to you, because God is the greatest giver in the universe, and He won't let you outgive Him. Go ahead and try. See what happens.
Randy Alcorn
Christians are God's delivery people, through whom he does his giving to a needy world. We are conduits of God's grace to others. Our eternal investment portfolio should be full of the most strategic kingdom-building projects to which we can disburse God's funds.
Randy Alcorn
The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.
Randy Alcorn
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?
Randy Alcorn
Teach your children gratefulness. Do all you can to deliver them from our culture's poisonous entitlement mentality.
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
Shouldn't we suppose that many of our most painful ordeals will look quite different a million years from now, as we recall them on the New Earth? What if one day we discover that God has wasted nothing in our life on Earth? What if we see that every agony was part of giving birth to an eternal joy?
Randy Alcorn
When my thirst for joy is satisfied by Christ, sin becomes unattractive.

Whenever I see an unmarried woman carrying a child, my first response is one of respect. I know she could have taken the quick fix without anyone knowing, but she chose instead to let an innocent child live.
Randy Alcorn
Unless we learn how to humbly tell each other our giving stories, our churches will not learn to give.

God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving.
Randy Alcorn
A nominal Christian often discovers in suffering that his faith has been in his church, denomination, or family tradition, but not Christ. As he faces evil and suffering, he may lose his faith. But that’s actually a good thing. I have sympathy for people who lose their faith, but any faith lost in suffering wasn’t a faith worth keeping.
Randy Alcorn
You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person. Heaven is the place.
Randy Alcorn
My purpose as a writer is to communicate in such a way as to challenge the thinking of readers and touch their hearts.
Randy Alcorn
For Christians this present life is the closest they will come to Hell. For unbelievers, it is the closest they will come to Heaven.
Randy Alcorn
Give regularly. Stewardship is not a once-a-year consideration, but a week-to-week, month-to-month commitment requiring discipline and consistency.
Randy Alcorn
The currency of this world will be worthless at our death or at Christ's return, both of which are imminent.
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.

Why ask for your daily bread when you own the bakery?
