Larry Burkett Christian Quotations

Few Christians understand the concept of eternal rewards, even thought the Lord dedicated a great deal of His precious time on earth to teaching about them. The one certainty is that our position in the Lord's kingdom will be inversely proportional to how we indulge ourselves in this lifetime.

... there is one primary purpose of a Christian's business: to serve God.

The average Christian pays more in interest than he gives to the Lord's work. In a church of 100 families 37 will give nothing.

Most Christians are more than content to live out their lives surrounded by the trappings of our world, rather than to risk losing them in becoming a radical Christian. A radical Christian (by my definition) is one who will put God first in all decisions, even when putting God first is costly. In the business world, this means putting God first even when doing so costs money. That is true freedom - spiritual freedom - as opposed to business bondage.

Always be ready to give a good testimony for the Lord, but remember that the best testimony a Christian can have is a love for others and good work habits.
