More quotes by Randy Alcorn
Statistics show that a soldier's chances of survival in the front lines of combat are greater than the chances of an unborn child avoiding abortion. What should be the safest place to live in America - a mother's womb - is now the most dangerous place.
Randy Alcorn
The repentant man rightfully loses trust in himself. He recognizes his self-dependence as the source of his problems, not the solution.
Randy Alcorn
The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.
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
Giving jump starts our relationship with God. It opens our fists so we can receive what God has for us.
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
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?

You can't take it with you - but you can send it on ahead.

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

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)

God is the greatest giver in the universe, He won’t let you outgive Him.

Contrary to common belief, Christian fiction did not begin with Catherine Marshall, Janette Oke, or Frank Peretti.

Sin and death and suffering and war and poverty are not natural—they are the devastating results of our rebellion against God. We long for a return to Paradise—a perfect world, without the corruption of sin, where God walks with us and talks with us in the cool of the day.

There's a throne in each life big enough for only one. Christ may be on that throne, or money may be. But both cannot occupy it.
Randy Alcorn
If God was the owner, I was the manager. I needed to adopt a steward's mentality toward the assets He had entrusted - not given - to me. A steward manages assets for the owner's benefit. The steward carries no sense of entitlement to the assets he manages. It's his job to find out what the owner wants done with his assets, then carry out his will.

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
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
Give. Giving affirms Christ's lordship. It dethrones me and exalts Him. It breaks the chains of mammon that would enslave me and transfers my center of gravity to Heaven.
Randy Alcorn
It's dangerous faith in our untamed Savior that leads us to the joy we crave.
Randy Alcorn
Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!
