Recently, I was in a church during stewardship season. The elder of finance was announcing how much the church is short of pledges. It announced to the congregation about cutting staff, reducing the programs if the congregation doesn’t pay their money for the next year. I have heard this so many times.

In simple terms, stewardship is caring for what has been entrusted to you or what belongs to you. Hopefully, such custodianship is done wisely, towards the intended end for which it was given, all to the glory of God. When the Scriptures speak of God’s relationship with Israel, and by extension, God’s relationship with all of humanity, it is done in covenantal terms. God’s covenantal promise is often expressed in a variant of the following statement: “I am the Lord your God, and you are my people.”

If your church has a fall stewardship emphasis, August is a critically important time. This is the month to make sure all is in place. By taking time for a stewardship “inventory” in August, you’ll be ready to move forward in September with a theologically sound, well-organized plan.
