That truth is that it is beyond the realm of possibilities that one has the ability to out give God. Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave." Scripture is chocked full of examples of generous giving. On his return from a victorious battle, Abraham gave a tenth of the spoils to Melchizedek, King of Salem (Genesis 14:19-20).

Larry Burkett, the late co-founder of Crown Financial Ministries, was a pioneer in applying Christian principles to personal and business financial management. His impact on how Christians view debt, work, saving, investing, giving, and retirement planning is still felt today through his 70-plus books and ongoing radio ministry. Larry believed strongly that a person cannot out give God.
"Thank you for your help and counsel regarding our recent Leadership Giving Campaign. The methodology, advice and guidance you provided our team has paid off for not only this year's campaign but for our future Leadership Giving activities. . . . The Donor Briefing concept you suggested has been a HOME RUN! It resulted in an increase of well over $1.4 million and the prospect of a second $500,000 gift from another donor group. . . . Our staff is energized. Our Board has caught the vision . . . This has not only been what we hoped it would be, but it has turned into much more. I am convinced that any Army unit that commits to working this program can be successful!"
"Despite what the news media reports, checks are still being written for ministry. Stewards are still stewards in any economy.
