Stewardship

"Five pitfalls to faithful stewardship:

1. Laziness-failing to invest our talents.


2. Lack of faithfulness in what we consider small responsibilities.


3. Thinking that we ourselves are the source of our gifts and abilities.


4. Sowing to the flesh-doing things that serve and please only ourselves.


5. Striving for earthly treasures-focusing on the present instead of eternity in heaven." -Karl Graustein
