Hold material goods and wealth on a flat palm and not in a clenched fist.

Alistair Begg

Der 1952 in Schottland geborene reformiert-evangelikale Pastor und Buchautor Alistair Begg leitet seit 1983 die Parkside Church in den USA und erreicht durch seinen Mediendienst „Truth For Life“ ein weltweites Radiopublikum. Er steht für fortlaufende, christuszentrierte Auslegungspredigt und geriet 2023/2024 in konservativ-evangelikalen Kreisen in die Kritik, weil er einer Großmutter den Besuch der Hochzeit ihres Transgender-Enkelkindes aus pastoralen Gründen anriet. Bibellesern bietet er eine Auslegungstradition, die theologische Tiefe nach reformiertem Verständnis mit lebensnaher seelsorgerlicher Anwendung verbindet.

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

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
