Quote

The tithe is God's historical method to get us on the path of giving. In that sense, it can serve as a gateway to the joy of grace giving. It's unhealthy to view tithing as a place to stop, but it can still be a good place to start.

Real gold fears no fire.

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.

Wealth is a relational barrier. It keeps us from having open relationships.

To procrastinate obedience is to disobey God.

The greatest deterrent to giving is the illusion that this earth is our home.

Heaven isn't an extrapolation of earthly thinking Earth is an extension of Heaven, made by the Creator King.

God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously.
Randy Alcorn
Image
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.

Give voluntarily. When we catch a vision of God's grace, we will give beyond our duty.

Grace and truth are spiritual DNA, the building blocks of Christ-centered living.

Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!

Image
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.

Image
I imagine our first glimpse of Heaven will cause us to gasp in amazement and delight. That first gasp will likely be followed by many more as we continually encounter new sights in that endlessly wonderful place.

Give regularly. Stewardship is not a once-a-year consideration, but a week-to-week, month-to-month commitment requiring discipline and consistency.

Image
Jesus tells you exactly how to get it. Put your money in missions-and in your church and the poor-and your heart will follow.

It's dangerous faith in our untamed Savior that leads us to the joy we crave.

Give more as you make more. Remember: God prospers us not to raise our standard of living, but to raise our standard of giving.

By trusting Christ's redemptive work for us, we can enter into what we long for: the happiness found only in God.

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)
