Here are a couple great comments I received to my post titled Two Foundational Principles of Christianity and Money:
I think the concept of stewardship is one that should be taught to anyone who has ever handled money. It is the one that most changed my financial life. The great part about stewardship is that I no longer have to worry about money. The freedom that comes with that is enormous. I no longer worry about losing a job, having a car die, or even retirement. I just manage the money that God sends my way the best that I can, and he handles everything else. I wonder what ever made me think I could handle "owning" money. Being a steward is much more fun, relaxing, and rewarding.
I agree. Once I switched from being an "owner" to a "steward" it made a huge difference. It is a ton more fun, relaxing, and rewarding.
The second commenter had a short but valuable thought:
The only thing I can add is that you cannot serve both God and money. Always have to keep that in mind.
Of course. And if you are focused on being a steward, then you won't be serving money. You'll be focused on serving God and handling your money the way He would have you handle it.
