“The teaching of stewardship is actually the making of faithful disciples of Jesus Christ…The value of the kingdom of God requires everything. Our possessions–our houses, cars, clothes, and computers–are not going to make it to heaven. We must leave those things behind for others. Only people are going to heaven. Through the god of materialism, our world tells us to use people and acquire money and wealth to buy things. Jesus calls us to do the opposite: give and invest in our children, our young people, our adults. Love people and use things!”

The Rev. Charles Cloughen, Jr. One Minute Stewardship Sermons: Communicating the Stewardship Message Every Sunday of the Year (Harrisburg, PA: Morehouse, 1997) xiv, 7.
