What is Christian stewardship? Does it involve just money? Or is it more?

Stewardship, Managing God's Goods reveals, begins with a recognition that God owns everything in the universe. Everything is His possession because He created it. And that includes man.

All of man's material possessions, his talents and abilities, and even his life and time belong to God. God only allows him to use them. To remind man that God is his Creator and Owner, He requests that man return a portion of what God has given him as a token of recognition and appreciation.

From time God asks us to return the Sabbath, one seventh of our life-span. He calls for one tenth of our income, and urges us to employ our abilities and talents in His service. Such requests remind us of our dependence on God.

But beyond all of this, stewardship, Paul G. Smith points out, is the wise use of life. God puts life at our disposal, and our duty is to employ it to God's honor and glory, and to the benefit of others.

Managing God's Goods presents a wider and deeper concept of Christian stewardship. It shows that stewardship is more than tithes and offerings. God's claim upon us and our responsibility to Him and our fellowmen and involve everything in our lives.
