The Lens of Stewardship: Answering “Why?”

The earth is the Lord’s and all that is in it, the world, and those who live in it; for God has founded it on the seas, and established it on the rivers.

Psalm 24:1-2 (NRSV)

The Lens of Stewardship: Answering “Why?”

1Think

of us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries. 2Moreover, it is required of stewards that they should be found trustworthy. 1 Corinthians 4:1-2, NRSV

The Lens of Stewardship: Answering “What?” Stewardship is everything you do after you say, “I Believe”.

Stewardship The disciplines of stewardship and self-offering are a grateful response to God’s love for the world and self-giving in Jesus Christ. As Christians, we are called to lives of simplicity, generosity, hospitality, compassion, and care for creation. Tithing is a primary practice of Christian stewardship and self-offering. We are accountable to God for how we use our material goods, spiritual gifts, and time in God’s service (W-5.0103).

Have you considered…? Why would God send God’s son to die for me but expect me to just give a little?

Meister Eckhart (c. 1260-1328) “If the only prayer you say in your life is ‘thank you’ that is enough.”
