What is Stewardship? There are two words that send the average congregation and common churchgoer into fear and panic,from the leadership and pastorate, that fears to offend or drive people away, to the church member who may be too far stretched in time and giving, and cannot give anymore, to the person who does not want to be convicted, lest he be forced to reach for the sacred will of his wallet or the exercise of His call. Yet, these two words are simple, and needed, because the church and the body of Christ could not function without them being proclaimed and exercised: These simple words are Stewardship and Evangelism.
The Meaning Of Christian Stewardship offers, in Bible study format, the full counsel of God's Word on work ethics, earning, saving, credit, investment and yes, giving.
