When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world.
Stewardship isn't a subcategory of the Christian life. Stewardship is the Christian life. After all, what is stewardship except that God has entrusted to us life, time, talents, money, possessions, family, and his grace? In each case, he evaluates how we regard what he has entrusted to us and what we do with it.
I do not believe one can settle how much we ought to give. I am afraid the only safe rule is to give more than we can spare.
The worst sin against stewardship is to waste your life.
We must strive to become good ancestors.
Giving is more than a responsibility-it is a privilege; more than an act of obedience-it is evidence of our faith.
The one principle that surrounds everything else is that of stewardship; that we are the managers of everything that God has given us
Dearest Lord, teach me to be generous; teach me to serve you as you deserve; to give and not to count the cost.
You have not lived today until you have done something for someone who can never repay you.
You can give without loving, but you can never love without giving.
Our stewardship of the Earth is brief. We owe it to those who follow to keep that in perspective, to be responsible passengers along the way.
I was once young and now I am old, but not once have I been witness to God's failure to supply my need when first I had given for the furtherance of His work. He has never failed in His promise, so I cannot fail in my service to Him.
Jesus Christ said more about money than about any other single thing because, when it comes to a man's real nature, money is of first importance. Money is an exact index to a man's true character. All through Scripture there is an intimate correlation between the development of a man's character and how he handles his money.
I never would have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had not tithed my first salary, which was $1.50 per week.
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. Life is not just a few years to spend on self indulgence and career advancement. It is a privilege, a responsibility, a stewardship to be lived according to a much higher calling, God's calling. This alone gives true meaning to life.
Take care of yourself - you never know when the world will need you.
The only right stewardship is that which is tested by the rule of love.
We are not cistern made for hoarding, we are channels made for sharing.
No one has ever become poor by giving.
When the church becomes an institution, people are nothing more than volunteers to be recruited. When the church is a movement, our stewardship becomes the unleashing of our God-given gifts, talents, and passions.
Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.
I do believe in what I call the stewardship of influence as well as the stewardship of affluence. And that is you use whatever God gives you not for your own benefit, but use it to help people who have no benefit. And when you use whatever God gives you, he gives you more of it. When you use it well, he gives you more of it.
Even if I give the whole of my worth to Him, He will find a way to give back to me much more than I gave.
The average Christian pays more in interest than he gives to the Lord's work. In a church of 100 families 37 will give nothing.
Every person, every place and every action is qualified by this association with the unconditional; it penetrates every moment of daily life and sanctifies it: "The Universe is God's sanctuary. Every work day is a day of the Lord, every supper is a Lord's supper, every work a fulfillment of the divine task, every joy a joy in God. In all preliminary concerns, ultimate concern is present, consecrating them."
