Biblical Stewardship Summary

Decent Essays
According to your post, you referenced Hugh Whelchel as it relates to stewardship. Whelchel's article (2012), Four Principles of Biblical Stewardship also discusses the principles of stewardship such as ownership, responsibility, accountability, and rewards. He informs the audience that people are managers acting on the Lord's behalf. For this reason, there is an expectation that one manages God's property efficiently. Additionally, Christians should be able to account for how the resources are utilized and finally, if one is resourceful, then one can expect to receive a reward in this life and in the rapture. According to the Bible, servants were given talents. While the men who received five talents and two talents worked to multiply them,

    As Christians, we are to know the Word of God and apply it to the decisions that we make each day. Jesus says in John 14:15, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments” (English Standard Version).

    The Sermon on the Mount is a interesting piece of writing that gives out a lot of crazy ideas on how people should live. I can not see anyone who is human living by these laws at all.

    As Michael Brown states in What They Don’t Tell you: A Survivor’s Guide to Biblical Studies: a Bible study focuses more on helping people to either understand what God wants in their life or how to be a better Christian. Sometimes Bible study helps solidify theological beliefs, or to develop new theological beliefs. As Brown stated, Bible study is often more of a mid week worship than a scholarly breakdown of the Bible. On the other hand, Biblical study differs from Sunday School because you study more than just the Bible itself. You study the historical context, such as the political climate, economics of the time, laws of the time, etc.…

    A steward is a trusted person that is given responsibility for someone else’s possessions which may include care for livestock, immediate family members, or servants. A steward’s duty was to manage on behalf of the master with the purpose to increase the master’s resources or influence. Finally, it implied some form of judgment or reckoning to reward the steward if they were faithful in the management of the entrusted resources. “Often, stewardship is thought of only in terms of finances, but the Bible teaches that stewardship is a far greater concept, involving how we respond with all of our life to Him who is the giver and sustainer of life?” For the purposes of this dissertation acknowledgement of more than finances is true, but will focus predominantly on financial stewardship.…

    The video, Doing the Right Thing group Bible study by Charles Colson, Brit Hume, reminded me how morally and spiritually bankrupt our society has become. Greed and corruption run rampant among our business, schools, government, homes, and sadly, even our schools. Pride and greed tend to work together in the lives of many people, leading to divorce, neglect, addictions, theft, and many other immoral actions. Chuck Colson gave an excellent explanation of self-righteousness when he stated, “self-righteousness is the belief that you are so good that you can’t be compromised” (Colson, 2012).…

    Discussion of doc 67, Rise of the Cotton Kingdom (1836) 1. How does Norcom’s letter suggest the interconnection between the fate of Native Americans and the opportunities open to white migrants to Mississippi? Norcoms letter clearly points out the rapid, almost spontaneous growth in wealth among the white migrants. Men who could not even afford a pair of shoes made a fortune over a short period of time by basically looking for land in the forest that was viable for growing cotton, direct lazy or rich merchants who would then invest on the lands.…

    “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” (Ephesians 2:10). A bible verse that coheres directly to fate, tells us that we are individuals shaped by God and our life is “prepared beforehand” and it is our duty to follow it, in a dignified way towards Him. Nevertheless, the Bible also emphasizes in the human moral ability to make decisions, a virtue given by God. Individuals have the ability to accept what they are given and decide the way they will take advantage of it.…

    In today’s society people has taken care of the environment in a different way. If God created the world and everything that goes along with it; then we as followers of God, Don’t we need to treat the world the way God would want us to? In Psalms 24:1-2 NIV it says “The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it on the seas and established it on the waters.” How funny that not just people, but Christians themselves treat the world with such mocking and disrespect towards the environment. God had put his trust in us so that we could take care his treasures on this earth, and pass on the teaching towards our children from generations to generations.…
