Blogging about Stewardship

Stewardship is a very important task in the life of Christian. The giving of your money, your time, and your gifts and abilities is crucial to the life of the church as we know it. I for one believe in giving sacrificially; I have found very often in my life that I have never been out of things that I needed. I certainly have been not able to attain things that I want, but God in his infinite power and grace has blessed me far greater than anything I could ever do on my own. I believe with all of my heart that I am blessed that much because I commit to give what belongs to God first before I give what I feel I "deserve" for my work. Several times in the Old Testament, a variety of authors state "The Earth is the Lord's, and everything in it." It is important for me to be willing to give back what truly belongs to God in the first place. That is what stewardship is about.
