Resources by Topic: Money and Giving

By God’s grace, it’s not only others who benefit when we give. Here are just four of the many benefits we receive when we choose generosity.

Jesus encourages and commands us to give both our money and our time in caring for others. God will reward us for our faithfulness in both of these areas.

In 2014, Randy Alcorn was interviewed through the Renegade Pastors Network about his book The Treasure Principle. They talked about how Eternal Perspective Ministries began, Scripture, advice for pastors and why Jesus cares about how we spend our money.
