Living as a Faithful Steward

What is A Steward?

A steward is someone who is entrusted with resources that belong to someone else. Since "the earth is the Lord's, and everything in it" (Psalm 24:1) all that we are and all that we have belongs to God and has been entrusted to us as His stewards.

The resources God has placed in our care to be used for His glory include our time, our talent, and our treasure. As faithful stewards, we are responsible to use these resources carefully, responsibly, and according to the wishes of their rightful owner.

We are living as faithful stewards of time when we open our doors to our neighbors, engage in personal or corporate worship or arrange our schedule to give priority to "First Things. "We are living as stewards of talents when we swing a hammer on a construction project, help in children's church, or help build a Habitat House. We are living as stewards of treasure when we develop a sound budget, financially support a missionary family, or worship the Lord with our tithes and offerings.
