“Ironically, giving isn’t a cause for insecurity but a cure for it, because it turns our hearts towards the only One worthy of our complete trust, and it fulfills the conditions of seeking first His Kingdom so that we can depend on him to provide for us materially as well (Matthew 6:33).”
Randy Alcorn in Money, Possessions, and Eternity (Tyndale House: Wheaton, 2003) 337.
