“What can we bank on, though, is the gracious supply of our loving Lord, who meets our silly plans where we are and moves us beyond them in ways we cannot see, or hope for, and yet strangely, unknowingly long for. Laying up our treasures in heaven means depending upon a loving God who, by the cross, will not leave us. “
– Ethan Richardson
“In this, as in all the other areas of Christian life the true solution does not lie in abstinence or withdrawal. It lies in the proper use and proper estimate of the things which God has provided. In other words, we are not called upon to relinquish things, but rather use them under God’s direction. We are to use them for the health and well-being of our family, for material aid to others, and for the great task of proclaiming the gospel and promoting Christian varieties.”
– James Montgomery Boice
