ISSUE DATE : APRIL \u2013 JUNE 2022<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stewardship is the practical expression of the Christian faith. However, one common temptation among Christians is to embrace a pragmatic approach to stewardship practices. What counts is the results and outcomes, but not the scriptural foundation. As an example, we feel satisfied when believers are generous and supporting God\u2019s mission financially without asking if current practices stand in harmony with God\u2019s clear instructions. For the stewardship pragmatist the ideal situation occurs when the giver is happy and comfortable and the church, as recipient, has the needed resources to run its ministries. This approach has the weaknesses of being human-centric, and of leaving God out of consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
