Biblical Perspective of Financial Stewardship

The company name is Christian Stewardship Retirement derived from Bible based financial stewardship. What does the Bible say about Stewardship?

Proverbs 21:5 says "The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty."

What does this mean: Let's put the word steward for the word diligent and then this reads the plans of a steward lead to profit. A financial steward makes money the right way that leads to profit.

Matthew 25: 14-30 is known as "The Parable of the Talents." In this parable, 3 servants were given money or talents to invest for their master while he was gone.

• 1 servant was given 5 talents and returned 5 more for a total of 10 - a good and faithful servant
• 1 servant was given 2 talents and returned 2 more for a total of 4 - a good and faithful servant
• 1 servant was given 1 talent and hid it and returned the 1 talent - a wicked and lazy servant.
• The servant with 10 talents was given this 1 talent
• "For everyone who has will be given more and he will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him."

What does this mean: As a person learns stewardship it will lead to abundance. If you never learn stewardship, ultimately it results in a loss in wealth to those who know it.

If you are a good financial steward, Congratulations.

If you are not a good financial steward, you can either hire someone who is and gain from it or lose money. My advice is to hire someone who is and gain from it. It is your call. Send me a comment if you want to gain stewardship.
