“In the name of the triune Diety: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I do hereby consecrate body, soul, and spirit, time, talents, influence, family, and estate–all with which I stand connected, near or remote, to be forever, and in the most unlimited sense, THE LORD’S.”
Phoebe Palmer (1807-1884) in Phoebe Palmer: Selected Writings, ed. Thomas Oden (New York: Paulist Press) 198, as cited by Wesley K. Willmer in God and Your Stuff (Colorado Springs: NavPress, 2002) 78.
