Kent Hughes

Richard Kent Hughes (* 1942) ist ein US-amerikanischer reformiert-evangelikaler Geistlicher und Theologe, der fast drei Jahrzehnte lang die College Church in Wheaton leitete und Praktische Theologie lehrte. Er begründete den Charles Simeon Trust mit und profilierte sich als Herausgeber der Auslegungsreihe „Preaching the Word“ sowie durch Schriften zur geistlichen Jüngerschaft wie „Disciplines of a Godly Man“. Bibellesern vermittelt er schriftzentrierte Auslegungen und praxisnahe Impulse zur Lebensführung, wenngleich Kritiker seinen Frömmigkeitsidealen bisweilen eine stark moralisierende Prägung vorhalten.

Martin Luther

The concern for my daily bread is a material question. The concern for my brother's bread is a spiritual question.

Nothing that you have not given away will ever be really yours.

C.S. Lewis

Material wealth is either a window through which we see God or a mirror in which we see ourselves.

Warren Wiersbe

What a person loves, that is their god. For they carry it in their heart, they turn it over day and night, they sleep with it and wake with it, whatever it may be — wealth or money, pleasure or honor.

Martin Luther
