Christian stewardship is defined as “an individual’s responsibility to properly manage everything which God has entrusted to his or her care. The scriptures reveal that it is an area of responsibility which demands faithfulness: “Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful” (I Cor. 4:2).
Stewardship is an important dimension which involves the right use of our time, talents, resources, possessions, and finances. Tithing is a principle of financial giving included within the concept of stewardship.
Stewardship includes the recognition that everything, ultimately, belongs to God: “The earth is Lord’s, and all its fullness” (Ps. 24:1). It involves our accountability before Him for the proper use of everything we possess. This includes the scriptural use of a portion of our income for the glory of God, for the benefit of the kingdom, and for the furtherance of the gospel on the earth.
