"God is not glorified when we keep for ourselves...what we ought to be using to alleviate the misery of unevangelized, uneducated, unmedicated, and unfed millions.... God increases our yield so that by giving we can prove that our yield is not our God..." (198).
"wartime lifestyle....a life unencumbered with nonessentials--... not primitive 'simplicity,' but wartime effectiveness....A wartime lifestyle implies that there is a great and worthy cause for which to spend and be spent....work to get in order to give" (199-202).
