Jesus Christ said more about money than about any other single thing because, when it comes to a man’s real nature, money is of first importance. Money is an exact index to a man’s true character. All through Scripture there is an intimate correlation between the development of a man’s character and how he handles his money.
— Richard Halverson (1916–1995), Kaplan des US-Senats, Pastor der Fourth Presbyterian Church, Buchautor und Vorstandsvorsitzender von World Vision

Richard Halverson
Richard Halverson (1916–1995) war ein US-amerikanischer presbyterianischer Pastor, langjähriger Vorstandsvorsitzender von World Vision und Kaplan des US-Senats. Er stand für eine überparteiliche Seelsorge im politischen Washington und warnte eindringlich vor einer geschäftsmäßigen und institutionellen Verflachung der christlichen Kirche. Heutigen Bibellesern ruft er in Erinnerung, den Glauben und biblische Verantwortung im persönlichen Alltag an genau dem Ort zu leben, an den Gott einen gestellt hat.
