All RANDY ALCORN Quotes about “Christ”

“It's curious that the Church has become the most tightfisted at the very time in history when God has provided most generously. There's considerable talk about the end of the age, and many people seem to believe that Christ will return in their lifetime. But why is it that expecting Christ's return hasn't radically influenced our giving? Why is it that people who believe in the soon return of Christ are so quick to build their own financial empires--which prophecy tells us will perish--and so slow to build God's kingdom?”
“A nominal Christian often discovers in suffering that his faith has been in his church, denomination, or family tradition, but not Christ. As he faces evil and suffering, he may lose his faith. But thatâ€™s actually a good thing. I have sympathy for people who lose their faith, but any faith lost in suffering wasnâ€™t a faith worth keeping.”
“The cost of redemption cannot be overstated. The wonders of grace cannot be overemphasized. Christ took the hell He didn't deserve so we could have the heaven we don't deserve.”
“The currency of this world will be worthless at our death or at Christ's return, both of which are imminent.”
“But isn't it wrong to be motivated by reward? No, it isn't. If it were wrong, Christ wouldn't offer it to us a motivation.”
“By trusting Christ's redemptive work for us, we can enter into what we long for: the happiness found only in God.”
“Christ offers us the incredible opportunity to trade temporary goods and currency for eternal rewards.”
“There's a throne in each life big enough for only one. Christ may be on that throne, or money may be. But both cannot occupy it.”
“When my thirst for joy is satisfied by Christ, sin becomes unattractive.”
“I think we need to not look at sorrow and happiness as opposites that cannot co-exist. They can and do co-exist. I have preached many memorial services where you see the sadness and the tears for those attending, and then you see how quick people are to laugh as they remember funny and happy things about their loved ones. And if the deceased knew Christ, those in attendance are able to rejoice as they anticipate the reunion that will one day come.”
“Grace and truth are spiritual DNA, the building blocks of Christ-centered living.”
“Materialism is a fruitless attempt to find meaning outside of God. When we try to find ultimate fulfillment in a person other than Christ or a place other than heaven, we become idolaters. According to Scripture, materialism is not only evil; it is tragic and pathetic.”
“Give worshipfully. Our giving is a reflexive response to God's grace. It doesn't come out of our altruism - it comes out of the transforming work of Christ in us.”
“God is grooming us for leadership. He's watching to see how we demonstrate our faithfulness. He does that through his apprenticeship program, one that prepares us for Heaven. Christ is not simply preparing a place for us; he is preparing us for that place.”
