It determines the lifestyle we choose to live. Stewardship is not only about money or fund raising. It is about how we view life and God. It is understanding the sovereignty of God and our role as trustee. Stewardship is how we earn and spend income, use natural resources, care for those in need, plan for future generations, and grow out spiritual heritage and pass it on.
Stewardship is rooted in creation, focused in covenant, and accounted for in consummation.
Stewardship requires responsibility. Stewardship involves lifestyle. Stewardship of the gospel. Stewardship of possessions. Christ is our model for stewardship.
