And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that you may always have enough of everything and may provide in abundance for every good work. (2 Cor. 9:8).
The biblical stewardship concept directly challenges most of the cultural values of North America. To become faithful "stewarding communities" in the biblical sense, a major and profound reorientation is required. Becoming faithful, wise, and responsible stewards calls for new ways of perceiving, thinking, and behaving.
Such a reorientation, a conversion, therefore requires a system-wide and strategic change process. |
