“Our perspective on and handling of money is a litmus test of our true character. It is an index of our spiritual life. Our stewardship of money tells a deep and consequential story. It forms our biography. In a sense, how we relate to money and possessions is the story of our lives.”
Randy Alcorn in Money, Possessions and Eternity (Wheaton: Tyndale House, 1989) 21-22, as cited by Wesley K. Willmer in God and Your Stuff (Colorado Springs: NavPress, 2002) 26.
