Download or read book 7 Pillars of Biblical Stewardship Leaders Guide written by Bob Barber and published by Cfaa. This book was released on 2009-11 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is our desire to approach 7 Pillars of Biblical stewardship from a Bible-rich approach. Biblical stewardship should be more about the Bible than just about reminders to give and methods to reduce debt. This course explores topics such as; the difference between a secular worldview and Biblical worldview, purpose of giving, how much to give, who to give to, how mcuh to save, and how much is too much. We also look at important topics such as; what the Bible says about banking, insuring, investing and educating as well as how to leave an inheritance while funding the Kingdom of God.
Download or read book How to Resource Your Vision written by Dick Edic and published by Vision Publishing (Ramona, CA). This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide for motivating, training and equipping church and Christian leaders in how to develop a culture of biblical stewardship and generosity to those people within their sphere of influence. It is directed primarily to pastors and church leaders, since that is where stewardship and generosity should be taught. However, the principles and "process" taught here can certainly be applied within the context of a Christian school or business environment. You may be a school leader that wants to help your staff, students and donors grow in their application of biblical stewardship and generosity. Or, you may be a Christian business person who wants to help your staff and employees benefit personally from this teaching. We know that stress from financial problems affects motivation and productivity in the work place. You would surely agree that our young people certainly need to learn these important principles before they enter into the challenges of adult life. The big question is how does a Christian leader organize and implement a strategy, or "process" in his or her organizational environment? How does he/she effectively utilize the multiple resources for teaching stewardship, money management and generosity to those people within his/her sphere of influence, whether it be a church congregation, school, or business? Because the church is where this important teaching should start, the major focus of this book is to help pastors and church leaders learn ways to empower and motivate their congregations toward a greater generosity and intimacy with God. Even if you are a Christian business or school leader, chances are you are also a church leader in some capacity. Chances are, along with your pastor, you want to be able to resource the God-given vision for your church. Although my primary goal is to see pastors and church leaders equipped in training others to become more generous givers and faithful managers of God's resources, many of the principles and resources mentioned in this book can be utilized within the environment of a business or school. So, take and apply those principles and truths contained in this book that work for your particular church or organization. You'll find out what works for you. And don't hesitate to seek help from the resources mentioned later in the book. Chances are you will need it and want it in order to succeed. I've designed the book to help the reader understand the "what," "why," and "how" to accomplish this goal. Because of the magnitude of this goal, and the space limitations within a single book, the focus will be on the "what" and "why," with some general instructions, principles, and resources provided in the "how." In Chapter Six, Appendix One and Two, I direct you to additional resources and help beyond the scope of this book, some of it free. By the time you finish reading and digesting the truths contained in this book, assuming that you are serious about the subject, you should be motivated and encouraged to move ahead in helping your church, school, or business entity develop a culture of biblical stewardship, money management and generosity. And regarding the image of the water faucet on the cover, you will learn its meaning in Chapter One. Our contributors to this book have many years of combined experience in some aspect of stewardship and generosity ministry leadership and training. You will be hearing from the best. BUT, be prepared to possibly go through a paradigm shift! We won't be talking about just another stewardship campaign, fund-raising effort, bible study, or seminar. You may be surprised!
Download or read book Ask Thank Tell written by Charles R. Lane and published by Augsburg Books. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this book, says author Charles Lane, is to perform a dramatic rescue of stewardship, freeing it from any connection whatsoever to "paying the bills." When the Bible talks about stewardship it almost always talks about the intimate connection between how a person handles financial matters and that person's relationship with God. Stewardship is an intensely spiritual matter that lies close to a disciple's relationship with Jesus.The book is designed especially for use in congregational planning and study. Congregational stewardship leaders will come back to three foundational verbs ? ask, thank, tell ? over and over as they help individuals experience the joy of giving generously. The author makes the convincing case that there is little in life today that can help a disciple grow in relationship with Jesus more than a solid intentional biblical stewardship.

Download or read book Stewardship for All written by Bedru Hussein and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-03-01 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Ethiopian and an American discuss stewardship, an attitude and a practice taught in the Bible regarding all of one's possessions—time, money, and abilities. Does stewardship have a place in our world? If so, why? Stewardship is an attitude and practice taught in the Bible regarding all of one's possessions -- time, money, abilities. But does stewardship have a place in our world? If so, why? This book brings together two voices from two vastly different parts of the world to talk about the subject. Bedru Hussein is from Ethiopia; Lynn Miller from the United States. They are both Christian leaders, but their exposure to and experiences with stewardship couldn't be at greater extremes. Their cultures' standards of living, income levels, frameworks, and histories are wildly different. Naturally, their settings and circumstances affect what they think the Old and New Testaments say about this issue. This book is for those Christians who are hearing for the first time that their resources, whatever their size, do not ultimately belong to them. The book is for those Christians who have heard that theme too often, who are exhausted by hearing that they have too much. A group of stories concludes the book. They are life experiences from churches and individuals (from Belize, Indonesia, Paraguay, Ethiopia, and the U.S.) and show candidly how stewardship is practiced in these particular places today.
