To Be a Christian Steward "As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one anoth-er as good stewards of God's varied grace"
(1 Pt 4:10)
What identifies a steward? Safeguarding material and human resources and using them responsibly are one answer; so is generous giving of time, talent, and treasure. But being a Christian steward means more. As Christian stewards, we receive God's gifts gratefully, cultivate them responsibly, share them lovingly in justice with others, and return them with increase to the Lord.
