Sam Storms

Der US-amerikanische Theologe und Pastor Sam Storms (* 1951) lehrte unter anderem am Wheaton College und wirkte über Jahrzehnte im pastoralen Dienst in Oklahoma und Missouri. Er gilt als prominenter Vertreter eines reformierten Charismatismus und geriet sowohl wegen seiner Auffassung zur Fortdauer übernatürlicher Gaben als auch wegen seiner langjährigen Nähe zur charismatischen Bewegung um Kansas City in die Kritik. Bibellesern bietet er eine Auslegungsperspektive, die eine calvinistische Gnadenlehre mit dem praktischen Ausüben neutestamentlicher Geistesgaben exegetisch verbinden möchte.

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
