Stewardship is more
than what we do when the offering plate
comes our way on Sunday morning. Stewardship
is the way we live our lives. We've
been given the gifts of time, talent, and
treasure. How we use those gifts
is stewardship. Using those gifts as we’re
guided by scriptural principles is true
biblical stewardship. Because we’re
called to give repeatedly in scripture,
we believe this concept needs to be incorporated
in all aspects of fund development and
taught to people of all ages.
Randy Alcorn, in his book, The Treasure Principle, identifies 10 Treasure
Principles. The first is that God owns everything; I’m His money manager. If
we lived that way, it would alter many decisions we made on a daily basis. I
urge you to investigate this principle further and see what stewardship secrets
are waiting for you to discover.
