But I also happen to be someone who believes in tithing--the giving of a tenth .

The tithe is a wonderful goal but a terrible place to stop.

God does not create poverty; we do, because we do not share.

God is not a slot machine. We don't go to God to get something; we go to give something.

Let your soul expand, let your heart reach out to others in loving and generous warmth, and great and lasting will be your joy, and all prosperity will come to you.

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.

The love we give away is the only love we keep.

New life, new hope, new joy will start when this is given from the heart.

the true God gives so we can become joyful givers and not just self-absorbed receivers.

God doesn't give in order to acquire. God loves without self-seeking; that's at the heart of who God is. God gives for the benefit of others.

This is a book about worshiping the true God and letting the true God act in us. It tells us as plainly as possible that the true God is a God who cannot stop giving and forgiving, and that our knowledge of this true God is utterly bound up with our willingness to receive from the hand of God the liberty to give and forgive.

True giving happens when we give from our heart.
