- 2 Nephi 9:51…Wherefore, do not spend money for that which is of no worth, nor your labor for that which cannot satisfy. Hearken diligently unto me, and remember the words which I have spoken; and come unto the Holy One of Israel, and feast upon that which perisheth not, neither can be corrupted, and let your soul delight in fatness.
- “I argue that religion or spirituality encourages philanthropy by explicitly linking givers to the concerns and needs of others,” says Schervish in his essay, “Wealth and the Spiritual Secret of Money.” “My analysis follows a three-step logic: (1) if wealth affords individuals the ability to have what they want (at least in the material realm), and (2) if philanthropy can be understood as the transformation of time and money from a pool of wealth into a disposable gift to other, (3) religion– as it takes form in what I call the spirituality of money-motivates or spurs philanthropy, in amount and type, by shaping the quality of wants or desires among the wealthy. If the wealthy generally can have what they want, it is the realm of spirituality that directs their wants into a bond of care for others.” Wealth in Families Third Edition (Charles W. Collier) Page 13
