Faith-Based Finances

Thoughts on Stewardship

“God owns it all and (you) are stewards
of His resources…Because you are stewards
of the resources God has entrusted to you,
every financial decision you make is actually a spiritual decision.  For man, that’s a revolutionary concept.  How you manage your finances is a pretty good barometer for the condition of your spiritual life.”
Dennis Rainey - CEO and Co-founder of Family Life

“If God was the owner, I was the manager.  I need to adopt a steward’s mentality toward the assets He had entrusted – not given – to me.  A steward manages assets for the owner’s benefit.  The steward carries no sense of entitlement to the assets he manages.  It’s his job to find out what the owner wants done with his assets, then carry out his will”. Randy Alcorn - Director of Eternal Perspective Ministries

“We cannot give God anything; for everything is already His, and all we have comes from Him.  We can only give Him praise, thanks, and honor.” Martin Luther - Theologian 1483-1546

“We should use all our money for the Lord.  This is, we should use all our money in a way that God would approve.  In that sense, all of our money is to be given to the Lord.  Stewardship is to be total, not partial.” Wayne Mack - Strengthening Ministries International

“Wealth is a responsibility and the sharing of it a way of life.” Peter E. Haas, Jr. - Levi Strauss Foundation

“If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.” Billy Graham - American Evangelist

“One of the greatest missing teachings in the American church today is the reminder to men and women that nothing we have belongs to us.” Gordon MacDonald - American Pastor and Teacher

“Stewardship is the act of organizing your life so that God can spend you.” Lynn A. Miller - Author

“I believe with all of my heart that God’s people possess Gods’ provision to accomplish and fulfill God’s purposes in the world.” Joel Vestal - Founder of ServLife International

It’s not what you do with the million
If fortune should ere be your lot,
But what are you doing at present
With the dollar and quarter you got.
