The Treasure Principle “You can’t take it with you – but you can send it on ahead.” Discovering the Secret of Joyful Giving By Randy Alcorn
Treasure Principle Key #1 • Psalm 24:1 – “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.” • God owns everything. I’m His money manager.
Treasure Principle Key #2 • Matthew 6:21 – “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” • My heart always goes where I put God’s money
Treasure Principle Key #3 • Philippians 3:20 – “But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ.” • Heaven, not earth, is my home
Treasure Principle Key #4 • Proverbs 3:9 says “Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops.” • God’s children give to Him first, not last. • Giving is the only antidote to materialism • It is much easier to live on 90%, 50% or 10% of your income inside the will of God than it is to live on 100% outside of it.
Treasure Principle Key #5 • God prospers me not to raise my standard of living, but to raise my standard of giving
