Royal Stewardship
Our mission changes throughout the year
but Christians do not “give to the mission.”
Our stewardship of money is first of all
thanksgiving, our love gift to God in response
to the love we have experienced from Him.
Christians give to their Lord, not to a mission.
Christian stewardship of money is a form
of praise. It is our way of honoring God
and lifting Him up as most important in life.
Christian stewardship of money is planned.
Christians start thinking about distributing
God’s gifts the moment they arrive and set
aside what they plan to give.
Christian stewardship of money is proportionate.
To whom much is given, of them much is expected
but God gives something to every one. A small
gift is as great a honor as a large one if we have
been given little to manage for Him.
Christian stewardship of money is generous. We
have been given the privilege of “being God” to
those who receive our gifts. As His kings in this
world we represent His generosity in our giving.
Christian stewardship of money is timely. We
respond to special needs as God makes us aware
of them. We are Jesus’ hands as we practice
stewardship of His money.
