Belief 21 of 28 · Doctrines of the Christian Life

Stewardship

We are God's stewards, entrusted by Him with time, opportunities, abilities, possessions, blessings, and the earth itself. We acknowledge God's ownership by faithful service to Him and our fellow humans, and by returning tithes and giving offerings.

Malachi 3:10

Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this, says Yahweh of Armies, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough for.
