Too often we assume that God has increased our income to increase our standard of living, when his stated purpose is to increase our standard of giving. (Look again at 2 Corinthians 8:14 and 9:11).

The purpose of tithing is to secure not the tithe but the tither, not the gift but the giver, not the possession but the possessor, not your money but you for God.
Louie Tropf
I don’t give God 10% of my income. He let’s me keep 90% of His!

Francis of Assisi
And each one should confidently make known his need to the other, so that he might find what he needs and minister it to him.

If your faith does not affect your use of money, then your faith is a charade.
Randy Alcorn
God doesn’t make us rich so we can indulge ourselves and spoil our children, or so we can insulate ourselves form needing God’s provision. God gives us abundant material blessing so that we can give it away, and give it generously.
David Livingstone
Do not think me mad. 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.
Author Unknown
Money will buy a bed but not sleep, books but not brains, food but not appetite, finery but not beauty, medicine but not health, luxury but not culture, amusement but not happiness, a crucifix but not a Saviour, a temple of religion but not heaven.
C. S. Lewis
He who has God and many other things has no more than he who has God alone.
John Wellons
I am as careful about investing God’s money in a place where it will bring spiritual profits as I am in my own business investments. I feel worse about a bad investment made with God’s money than my own. God will hold us responsible if we do not give or if we give prayerlessly.
