"Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One
out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject.
Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five
hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer's
attitude toward money and possessions is determinative."
- John MacArthur
"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help
straighten out almost every other area in his life."
- Billy Graham
"If rich people only knew when they died--how their relations would scramble for their money, the worms for their bodies, and the
devils for their souls - they would not be so anxious to save money!"
- William Tiptaft
"The first century money changers were in the temple, but they didn't have the spirit of the temple... They were out of sync with the whole purpose of the Lord's house. "The atmosphere of my Father's house," Jesus seemed to say, "is to be prayer. The aroma around my Father must be that of people opening theirhearts in worship and supplication. This is not a place to make a buck. This is a house for calling on the Lord."
- Jim Cymbala
"I've heard people say, "I want more of a heart for missions." I always respond, "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.""
- Randy Alcorn
"It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live.
The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give."
- David Livingstone
