Say the word stewardship and automatically racing through many people's minds are many different thoughts....and not all of them biblical or healthy..

Unfortunately in some circles the term being a good steward and stewardship has been used to justify not spending money...in this case the person who does not spend money is seen as a good steward (even if people are neglected) and the one who does is seen as a bad one (even if their intention was to bring God's love to someone)... well that may sound right in some people's ears but it is not consistent with scripture check out Matthew 22:17, Mark 7:9-13, Luke 3:11; 12:32-48; Romans 13:6,7; 2 Corinthians 8:1-4; James 2:14-16; 1 John 3:17,18; 1 Timothy 6:17-19.

Others view it only from the perspective of money...however stewardship involves far more than just cash...it involves all the resources in our lives...both tangible and intangible.

Biblical Stewardship

Biblical stewardship is not about raising money to pay the church's bills. It is about offering some portion of the material resources God has given us to others as a way of thanking God for these resources.
