It’s about time we stopped buying things we don’t need with money we don’t have to impress people we don’t like.

Money – Possessions
Fascinated with what world? – AW Tozer
The more fascinated we become with the toys of this world the more we forget that there’s another world to come.

Christ is enough! – AW Tozer
Christ is enough. To have Him and nothing else is to be rich beyond conniving. To have all else and have not Christ is to be a cosmic pauper, cut off forever from all that will matter at last.

Giving God control of our money – Adrian Rogers
You can sing all you want about how you love Jesus, you can have crocodile tears in your eyes, but the consecration that doesn’t reach your purse has not reached your heart.

Jesus Deals with Money – John MacArthur
Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer’s attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.

A Zealous Man – JC Ryle
A zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh and pray.

How a Christian Should Live – David Livingstone
Do not think me mad. It is not to make money that I believe a Christian should live. The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.

Money Often Quenches Spiritual Fire – JC Ryle
Nothing I am sure has such a tendency to quench the fire of religion as the possession of money.

Money and Music – Jim Cymbala
I am dismayed by the contracts required by some contemporary musical groups. To perform a concert at your church, the stated fee will be so much (in either four or five figures) plus round trip airfare–often first class, not coach. Every detail of the accommodations is spelled out, down to “sushi for twenty persons” waiting at the hotel, in one case. All this is done so that the group can stand before an inner-city audience and exhort the people to “just trust the Lord for all your needs.”
