Resources by Topic: Money and Giving

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy discusses how we are to be stewards of God’s possessions. Using the analogy of a FedEx worker, Randy explains that God has entrusted money to us, and our job is not to keep it, but to get it to where He wants it to go.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy says that if we store up our treasures in heaven, we are always moving towards them we get closer to the day we die. Giving is what shifts our treasures and our hearts toward heaven.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy explains the importance of looking forward to a new Heaven and new earth where righteousness dwells. Living with a right view of eternity makes us eager to store up our treasures there.

In this clip from a conversation with Rob West on Faith and Finance, Randy talks about how we don’t need to live extravagantly. We live in a world of need, and if we spend less and live generously, we can help other people live.

Living simply isn’t about deprivation; it’s about freedom, and that freedom can lead to extraordinary generosity. Rather than cling to our possessions, God calls us to have an everlasting mindset and use what we have for His Kingdom. On this episode of Faith and Finance, Randy Alcorn joins Rob West to discuss how we can loosen our grip on earthly things to open our hands to eternal impact.

“Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” Jesus could have gone on—fires consume, floods destroy, inflation erodes, governments tax, enemies attack, investments go sour. No earthly treasure is safe.

In this clip from his message to a group of InterVarsity students at Harvard College, Randy discusses Jesus’s words in Matthew 6, about not to store up for ourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. He shares a real-life illustration of someone whose earthly treasure was literally eaten by moths.

Randy spoke to a group of InterVarsity students at Harvard College. Drawing from Scripture, he talks about money and giving, and shares six keys from his book The Treasure Principle.

This parable serves as a warning to all of us. Jesus applies the rich fool’s experience to that of others: “So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God” (Luke 12:21).

Randy had a Zoom conversation with Steve Campbell of the C3 Church. They talked about giving, rewards, and Randy’s book The Treasure Principle.

Last month I spoke on generosity, happiness, and Heaven at my home church, Good Shepherd Community Church. This is a message that’s close to my heart.

Scripture is emphatic on the point that God honors His children’s giving. That’s why I love this article from Desiring God’s David Mathis, reminding us that we just can’t outgive our generous God.

Randy preached at his home church, Good Shepherd, as part of a series on The Spirit of Generosity. He talked about the happiness that can be found in being a generous giver.

Can you imagine anyone saying on his or her deathbed, “I wish I’d bought more stuff”? If we truly understood both the present and the eternal results of giving, we’d never hesitate or wonder whether it’s worthwhile to give now.
