“I heard a pastor once say that giving is to materialism as kyrptonite is to Superman. Indeed, one of the amazing benefits of living generously is that it frees us from the ruin and harmful desires caused by our love of money. So let us pursue a generous spirit and avoid being ruined by a desire for riches.”
Patrick Johnson, CEO of GenerousChurch, from a blog post titled “Ruined by a Desire for Riches”
