The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn

By Pastor Brandon in Deep Thoughts on 3/21/09

While laying by a pool, watching my kids play, I read the simple book The Treasure Principle by Randy Alcorn. The principles in the book were so powerful I thought I would immediately blog on it and encourage everyone to read it. This book gives the most clear concise explanation for why we should give and how we should give I have ever heard. I don’t want to spoil the book by writing an extensive review of it but want to give you a couple of my favorite quotes.

“He who lays up treasures on earth spends his life backing away from his treasures. To him, death is loss. He who lays up treasures in heaven looks forward to eternity; he’s moving daily towards his treasures. To him death is gain.”

“The tithe is God’s historical method to get us on the path of giving”

“Health and wealth gospel dishonors Christ, since any gospel that is more true in America than India is not the true gospel.”

“Whenever we think like owners, it’s a red flag.”

Just a few of the great quotes in this book. The book highlights Alcorn’s 6 steps to The Treasure Principle which I won’t spoil by sharing. I want to encourage everyone to read this book. If you attend Canyon Creek Church I am going to buy a few dozen copies of this book and have it available to give to those who can’t afford it. See me when I am back next Sunday for your copy!
