We are God's stewards. He has entrusted us with the wise management of time and opportunities, abilities and property, the blessings of the earth and its gifts. We are responsible to God for the proper use of all these gifts. We express our acknowledgment of God as the Lord of all by faithfully serving Him and our neighbors, and by voluntarily giving tithes and offerings for the proclamation of the Gospel and for the support and growth of His Church. God has granted us a special honor by giving us the right to dispose of everything entrusted to us, in order to educate us in love and lead us to victory over selfishness and greed. God's stewards experience joy when other people are blessed as a result of their faithfulness
