“Giving produces freedom 100 percent of the time—freedom from the bondage of things, freedom to receive more from God, and freedom to be a conduit of blessing to others. Christians who have freely given their time, money, and themselves are the people who have changed eternity for themselves and countless others.”
Tricia Mayer in a letter to Randy Alcorn, as recounted in Money, Possessions, and Eternity (Wheaton: Tyndale, 2003) 292-293.
