“Let this, therefore, be our rule for generosity and beneficence: We are the stewards of everything God has conferred on us by which we are able to help our neighbor, and are required to render account of our stewardship. Moreover, the only right stewardship is that which is tested by the rule of love.”
John Calvin (1509-1564) in Institutes Book III 3.7.5. ed. Donald K. McKim (Louisville: WJKP, 2001) 83.
