More quotes by Randy Alcorn
Abundance isn't God's provision for me to live in luxury. It's his provision for me to help others live. God entrusts me with his money not to build my kingdom on earth, but to build his kingdom in heaven.
Randy Alcorn
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.
Randy Alcorn
Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.
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!
Randy Alcorn
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.
Randy Alcorn
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.
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
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.
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
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
Wealth is a relational barrier. It keeps us from having open relationships.
Randy Alcorn
You and I are characters in God's Story, handmade by Him. Every character serves a purpose.
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
There's only one requirement for enjoying God's grace: being broke . . . and knowing it.
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
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
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.

Compassion for the mother is extremely important, but is never served through destroying the innocent.
Randy Alcorn
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
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.
