“Oh, let not mine eyes be dazzled, nor my heart bewitched with the

glory and sweetness of these worldly treasures. . . Draw my affection to

the love of that durable riches, and to that fruit of heavenly wisdom

which is better than gold, and the revenues whereof do surpass the

silver, that my chief care may be to have a soul enriched and furnished

with Thy grace.”                               –Samuel Hieron

“Jesus is not against investment. He is against bad investment—namely,

setting your heart on the comforts and securities that money can afford

in this world. Money is to be invested for eternal yields in heaven—‘Lay

up for yourselves treasures in heaven!’”  —John Piper
