“No one can buy his way out of responsibility by giving money, no matter how generously he gives. Every area of a Christian’s being belongs to God as surely as every part of a slave’s person belonged to the master who had purchased him in the marketplace. Not only the fraction a Christian gives, but every cent that he keeps, is God’s. The Creator owns not one day of the week, but seven. A Christian’s worship, certainly, but also his work and recreation, his getting and spending, his visiting and entertaining, must be done as unto the Lord.”
