The public exposures they have are geared most often towards this end. We came into the world with nothing, and we shall leave the same way. In the meantime we have a responsibility to manage the resources entrusted to us by God. Stewardship' is everything we do with everything we have. Stewardship begins with the idea that God owns all things - so we're not giving to God what is ours, but releasing what is already his.
Stewardship is ministry.
Stewardship' is like the word 'blue' said one church leader - 'blue' moods, 'blue' movies etc. A good word, but bad associations. But that said, let us be as forthright about money as the Bible is. That doesn't mean we're to be legalistic about tithing. The givers in the Gospels who receive Jesus' commendation are not mere tithers, but people like Mary who gave her precious gift, Zaccheus who gave half his goods, and the widow who gave everything.
