Stewardship of Our Resources

 

 

 


REJOICE! . . . in our past, in our future!
     A series of essays from the Stewardship Committee, Mitchell Fick, chair.

Christian Stewardship is . . .
1 . . . the faithful management of the resources God gives us.

2 . . . how well I score on my eternal placement exam

3 . . . earning all you can, so that you can save all you can, so that you will give all you can.

4 . . . proper care of God's resources so that we can best demonstrate love for our enighbors, as Jesus demonstrated his love for us.

5 . . . proof of our Christian (Christ-like) love for one another.

6 . . . loving = giving

7 . . . why we are here.

8 . . . what a Christian does after he says, "I believe."
