Give sacrificially. We don't like risky faith. We like to have our safety net below us. But we miss the adventure of seeing God provide when we've really stretched ourselves in giving.

More quotes by Randy Alcorn
The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.
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
God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously.
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
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
What you do with your resources in this life is your autobiography.
Randy Alcorn
What we love about this life are the things that resonate with the life we were made for. The things we love are not merely the best this life has to offer—they are previews of the greater life to come.
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
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.
Randy Alcorn
You are made for a person and a place. Jesus is the person. Heaven is the place.
Randy Alcorn
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water (Psalm 63:1). We may imagine we want a thousand different things, but God is the one we really long for. His presence brings satisfaction his absence brings thirst and longing.
Randy Alcorn
He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity
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
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
To procrastinate obedience is to disobey God.
Randy Alcorn
Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.

Nothing is wiser than giving first to God, cutting back our expenditures wherever we can, and systematically paying off our debts to others, having placed ourselves through our faithful giving under God's blessing instead of His curse.
Randy Alcorn
Tomorrow's character is made out of today's thoughts. Temptation may come suddenly, but sin does not.
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.
