COMMUNICATING THE WORD OF STEWARDSHIP: "We make a living by what we get; we
make a life by what we give." (Sir Winston Churchill) First, faithful
stewardship involves giving to God as an act of worship. We give out of
glad and generous hearts as an expression of love and devotion to the God
who is so good to us. When we do this, we discover the very essence of
Christianity: a heartfelt relationship with God in which joy and
thanksgiving replace self-interest or guilt. ~ Giving to God, Mark Allan
Powell
