The following is an encore presentation from 2023.Chad Clark is Executive Director here at FaithFi. WHERE DOES STEWARDSHIP BEGIN?Start by envisioning a target with three rings. When we think about stewardship we need to start in the inner circle, the bullseye, which is our heart.At the heart of a good and faithful steward you will find a love and devotion to Christ. Really, it’s our identity that is found in Christ as Galatians 2:20 points out “It is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me”.This is contrary to the world, which is focused on self. When we think of what it means to be a good and faithful steward we must start with Christ and resist the temptation to put ourselves at the center.DOERS OF THE WORDThe outermost ring of this target is APPLICATION.We are in the world but not of the world. We still have bills to pay, and financial decisions to make, but when we make decisions from the inside out, we recognize that God is the owner of everything and our role as stewards is simply to glorify Him
