• Stewardship isn't a subcategory of the Christian life. Stewardship is the Christian life.

In each case, he evaluates how we regard what he has entrusted to us and what we do with it.

• It is not what I do that matters, but what a sovereign God chooses to do through me. God does not want worldly successes, He wants me. He wants my heart in submission to Him.

This alone gives true meaning to life.
