Healthy Stewardship vs. Scarcity in Disguise
How to tell wise stewardship apart from fear dressed up as humility.
There's a real difference between healthy stewardship and scarcity dressed up as humility. A few anchors help you tell them apart:
- Never commit money ahead of the money you have. Don't base building payments on growth projections.
- Never put a timeline on the vision. Hold both real urgency and real contentment at the same time.
- A key line to remember: "We'll do it at the speed of your generosity." Pastors set the vision, givers set the pace.
- Always give God the glory. You're a soldier in the army, not the owner of the company.
