Stewardship

Charles E. Bradford ; North American Division, Silver Spring, USA

Abstract

The biblical idea of stewardship is more than a narrow creedal statement. It is a dynamic principle under which the kingdom of God operates. Humans stand under the judgment of God, and Christian stewardship presses the question, Who is responsible for the care of God’s creation and the gifts that He has shared with the human creature? These gifts are physi¬cal, spiritual, and intellectual. They come from the hand of the Creator: life, health, posses¬sions, and even the planet itself. “Every good endowment and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change” (James 1:17).
