"Absolute Owner"
Scripture Reading:
Genesis 1:26 (HCSB) Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness. They will rule the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the livestock, all the earth, and the creatures that crawl on the earth.”

Devotional Reading:
Keep the Son in your eyes,
The
subject of stewardship causes both confusion and consternation among
Christians. The issue of money is really only a very small part of the
stewardship. When rightly understood, stewardship can bring true joy to
the life of a Christian, and it can transform the way we live. The word
stewardship refers to an administration or an economy, a way of
operating. We can also call it management. Stewardship is not only
misunderstood, it is also abused. In the name of stewardship, false
doctrine has arisen and caused people to confine their perception of God
to a box. A prosperity heresy has deceived people about what it means
to be a good steward for the Lord. The proper definition of stewardship
is given by its author, God Himself. To understand stewardship, we must
understand authorship. The Bible opens up with God creating, talking,
and doing. He made the earth and mankind, and therefore He is the owner
of all things. God created and then He gave responsibility to man to
manage His creation. We don’t own anything on earth; it’s all God’s
property. The Bible is very clear about who owns the earth and who we
are serving. In Exodus 19:5, God says: “All the earth is Mine.” In Psalm
89:11, the psalmist said to God: “The world and all it contains, You
have founded them.” We own nothing, and the ultimate proof for this is
that when we leave the earth, we won’t take anything with us. God is
absolute owner because He is absolute sovereign and King of the
universe. Join us as we talk about money starting Wed October 24th at
6pm.
