Thoughts on Stewardship
How would my life be different if I believed and acted like the claims of the Bible are correct? How would things change if I understood that all I have really belongs to God, and is entrusted by God to me to manage? What if I grounded my sense of self in my baptism, and recognized that in God's eyes
what I have doesn't have any relationship to who I am? – Chick Lane
