Stewardship


02/09/2010
By Darden, Steve

What a though provoking title, stewardship. It means so many things to many people. Some think of money, some think of environment, some think of service, when they hear the word stewardship. They are all correct. God says that He gave us dominion over the earth and all that is in it. He did not GIVE it to us. He simply put us in charge, to take care of things for Him. While Donna and I visited Israel last month, we asked a dear friend to look after our home and animals for us in our absence. Miss Karen always takes the best care of our dogs and horses and our home, but best of all she treats it like it was her home. She has friends over, she cooks, she pets the dogs, she feeds the horses, and she does it all out of love for us. What if?
What if one time we came home and it looked like a scene from "Animal House?" What if I went to the bank one day and they said,"oh sorry Mr. Darden, we went to Vegas and tried to double your money. Unfortunately, Jim drew to an inside straight and lost all your cash."
I hardly think that I would trust that person or bank again, to handle MY STUFF! Now imagine how God must feel when we treat His stuff like that. It is all His stuff anyway. He allows us to use it because loves us and trusts us. Are you being a trustworthy servant of God? Stewardship.
Pastor Steve.

Questions? Concerns? Prayer Requests?

Are you new to the church?  Or maybe just visiting?  We want you to know who is available to answer any questions you have or address a concern or even just stop and pray right then and there with you!

Look for the Texas Fellowship of Cowboy Churches star on the left shoulder of our shirts (there's also a big version of this star on the wall to the right of our main entrance, if you want to know exactly what you're looking for).

Anyone should be able to help you, but look for the stars on our Leadership Team Members' shirts and you'll know you're talking with someone who has the whole low-down.  Did you get home and realize you have a question?  Well, give us a call at the church office at 817-783-2227 or email us at info@barcross.org
