Randy Alcorn Men Quotations

Parents who spoil their children out of 'love' should realize that they are performing acts of child abuse. Although there are no laws against such abuse--no man-made laws anyway--this spiritual mistreatment may result in as much long-term personal and social damage as the worst physical abuse.

Ironically, many people can't afford to give precisely because they're not giving. If we pay our debt to God first, then we will incur His blessing to help us pay our debts to men. But when we rob God to pay men, we rob ourselves of God's blessing.

Those who know their unworthiness seize grace as a hungry man seizes bread: the self-righteous resent grace.

The repentant man rightfully loses trust in himself. He recognizes his self-dependence as the source of his problems, not the solution.

There's only one requirement for enjoying God's grace: being broke . . . and knowing it.
