Lent, Day 17: Thoughts on Stewardship

Can you tell I like quotes? What can I say, I love being enlightened and inspired by great minds... So, here are some quotes about stewardship - something I think we believers brush over.

"Tithing is not about you giving 10%, it's about you contributing to the ministry of the community around you." - Jeremiah Bolich

"Where I was born and where and how I have lived is unimportant. It is what I have done with where I have been that should be of interest." - DL Moody

"Worship is giving God the best that He has given you. Be careful what you do with the best you have. Whenever you get a blessing from God, give it back to Him as a love gift. Take time to meditate before God and offer the blessing back to Him in a deliberate act of worship. If you hoard a thing for yourself, it will turn into spiritual dry rot, as the manna did when it was hoarded. God will never let you hold a spiritual thing for yourself; it has to be given back to Him that He may make it a blessing to others." - Oswald Chambers
