Resources by Topic: Money and Giving

Recently I was working on a book project that involved my reading through messages Charles Spurgeon preached on Heaven. I was delighted to come across a passage in which he affirms some of the same teachings I lay out in my books The Treasure Principle and Money, Possessions and Eternity. 

In this 1-minute video clip, Randy Alcorn shares about how not to waste the resources that God has entrusted to you as his money manager.

Perhaps my favorite is one that flies under the radar because they devote so little to fundraising, and focus all on hands-on ministry: Action International, based in the Seattle area.

Question from a reader: I've spoken to many long-term missionaries who have surprised me with their opinion about the effectiveness of short-term missions.  We spend a tremendous amount of money on “missionary tourism” in America, often to the detriment of long-term support.  What are your thoughts on short-term missions?

Question from a reader: My husband is in the military and we will be attending the base chapel.  I understand we should tithe to our local church but the military pays for the chapel's needs and salaries so I am wondering where we should send our tithe money? Some of our military friends send it to non-profit organizations such as Campus Crusade or Cadence International.

These audio files are from Randy Alcorn's graduate-level class The Theology of Money, which explores the biblical doctrine of money and possessions, with special emphasis on using them to have an impact on eternity.
