BIBLICAL STEWARDSHIP: HOW CHRISTIANS IN THE UNITED STATES ARE MISSING THE MARK.
Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate if Christians in the United States have defined stewardship too narrowly and missed the mark in their approach to biblical stewardship, specifically in their international dealings. In making this evaluation, stewardship is defined according to passages from the Bible, recognizing the infallibility of God?s word and its authority. The current practices of individuals professing Christianity in the U.S. are explored. Upon measuring these identified practices against the biblical definition of stewardship, the conclusion is reached that Christians in the U.S. have, on the whole, misrepresented Christ in their stewardship responsibilities. Through an analytic autoethnography, one of the authors? experiences are detailed within the context of biblical stewardship.
