And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else’s property, who will give you property of your own? Luke 16:12
“Stewardship is spiritual before it is financial. Stewardship is about our faith before it is about our finances.”
Joel Mikell in Crafting a Theology of Stewardship (Horizons Stewardship, 2013).
The thought of fishing for men has me thinking about the connection between generosity and discipleship.
In this book, Mikell states seven perspectives to help readers build a theology of stewardship. This is his first and foundational point. Ponder it.
Before we focus on money, we must determine where we place our trust. Once we anchor that in Jesus, we are positioned to obey His teachings.
As we do it leads us down a path to generosity, where God is the Supplier, and we are distributors. But it starts with faith then the finances follow.
