Contributed by Todd Leupold on Nov 26, 2008 (message contributor)
H.A. Ironside wrote: “Have you noticed that a man’s use of his money is often the acid test of his character? . . . If you are afraid that perhaps the love of money is getting a grip upon you just try giving away some of it, and if you feel more cheerful and happy than before, then love of money has not gotten hold of you. But if you find that it hurts to give, then you may well be tearful lest covetousness is getting a grip on your soul. . . God’s heart goes out in loving appreciation to the man who lives for the benefit of others and uses that which is entrusted to him in the light of eternity.” (Luke, pp. 504-506).
