The Treasure Principle

I just began reading a book called "The Treasure Principle" by Randy Alcorn. This came as a recommended read from a great friend of mine! I'm only 2 chapters in, but I'm loving it! The book deals with money - and being a good steward. I just wanted to quickly post some quotes that I've noted from this wonderful read!!

"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

"But when Jesus warns us not to store up treasure on earth; its 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. " - Randy Alcorn

When John D. Rockefeller died, someone asked his accountant, "How much money did John D. leave?" And she replied, "All of it."

Now here is something to think about:

"Christ himself is our ultimate treasure. All else pales in comparison to Him and the joy of knowing him. A person, Jesus, is our first treasure. A place, heaven, is our second treasure. Possessions, eternal rewards, are our third treasure. (What person are you living for? What place are you living for? What possessions are you living for?)" - Randy Alcorn

Ponder that.
