We believe that God is the ultimate owner of all things (Psalm 24:1) and that everything we possess in this life is graciously given to us by Him (1 Corinthians 4:7). We also recognize that God calls every one of His followers to steward (or manage) the resources He entrusts to them wisely and responsibly. These resources include our spiritual knowledge (1 Corinthians 4:1-2), our spiritual calling in life (1 Corinthians 9:17), the exercise of our spiritual gifts (1 Timothy 4:14), our opportunities in life (Matthew 25:14-30), as well as our finances (Luke 19:12-27). Moreover, God will require us to give an account of how we steward these resources (Romans 14:12).
