My success is not about the wealth and fame. I am most concerned with my relationship to God, which is the most important.

Manny Pacquiao

Der philippinische Politiker und ehemalige Profiboxer Manny Pacquiao (* 1978) erlangte als mehrfacher Weltmeister weltweite Bekanntheit und wirkte später als Senator seines Landes. Nach seiner Hinwendung zum evangelikalen Glauben nutzt er seine Popularität für karitative Projekte sowie evangelistische Botschaften, geriet jedoch wegen abwertender Äußerungen über Homosexuelle und der Befürwortung der Todesstrafe international in die Kritik. Bibellesern gilt sein Werdegang als Beispiel für eine radikale persönliche Lebenswende, veranschaulicht aber zugleich die Konflikte um biblisch begründete gesellschaftspolitische Positionen.

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
