The world of the generous gets larger and larger; the
world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller.
—Proverbs 11:24

A greedy and grasping person destroys community.
—Proverbs 15:27

“Don’t hoard treasure down here where it gets eaten
by moths and corroded by rust or—worse!—stolen by
burglars. Stockpile treasure in heaven, where it’s safe
from moth and rust and burglars. It’s obvious, isn’t it?
The place where your treasure is, is the place you will
most want to be, and end up being.”—Matthew 6:19-21

“Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not
merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing.
Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets
generosity.”—Luke 6:38

“Your eye is a lamp, lighting up your whole body. If you
live wide-eyed in wonder and belief, your body fills up
with light. If you live squinty-eyed in greed and distrust,
your body is a dank cellar.”—Luke 11:34

“Take care! Protect yourself against the least bit of
greed. Life is not defined by what you have, even when
you have a lot.”—Luke 12:15

Your greedy luxuries are a cancer in your gut, destroying
your life from within. You thought you were piling
up wealth. What you’ve piled up is judgment.
—James 5:3
