Randy Alcorn quotes about
I wrote my first novel, 'Deadline,' in 1994 as an experiment.
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?
What is good about Good Friday? Why isn't it called Bad Friday? Because out of the appallingly bad came what was inexpressibly good. And the good trumps the bad, because though the bad was temporary, the good is eternal.
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.
Cheap grace replaces truth with tolerance, lowering the bar so everyone can jump over it and we can all feel good about ourselves.
Grace never ignores the awful truth of our depravity; in fact it emphasizes it. The worse we realize we are the greater we realize God's grace.
He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity
Not only will we see His face and live, but we will likely wonder if we ever lived before we saw His face!
How we spend our time verifies what we value most: TV, the Internet, or God's Word?
When Jesus warns us not to store up treasures on earth, it's not just because wealth might be lost; it's because wealth will always be lost. Either it leaves us while we live, or we leave it when we die. No exceptions....Realizing its value is temporary should radically affect our investment strategy.... According to Jesus, storing up earthly treasures isn't simply wrong. It's just plain stupid.
God is the greatest giver in the universe, He won’t let you outgive Him.
It is by serving God and others that we store up heavenly treasures. Everyone gains; no one loses.
If we get it wrong about Jesus, it doesn’t matter what else we get right.
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.
