God created us to be channels of blessing, but our ability to receive the resources with which He wants us to bless others, depends on our being able to give then away - freely, faithfully, generously.

Jack Hayford

Jack Hayford (1934–2023) war ein US-amerikanischer Pastor, Kirchenleiter und Autor, der über mehrere Jahrzehnte die Megagemeinde The Church on the Way in Kalifornien leitete. Als einflussreiche Stimme der Pfingstbewegung und Verfasser zahlreicher Bücher sowie bekannter Kirchenlieder wie Majesty galt er als Brückenbauer zum breiteren Evangelikalismus, stieß mit seinen charismatischen Überzeugungen jedoch bei cessationistischen Theologen auf Kritik. Für Bibelleser bieten seine Schriften praxisnahe Impulse zu Gebet, Anbetung und einem geistlich geprägten Alltagsleben.

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
