The Rhythm of Abundance
Christian Stewardship is based on the idea that everything we have, not just our money, but also our time, talent, the environment, and even our “good-looks” are all gifts from God. Christian Stewardship is a call to healthy spirituality, a call to hold material and spiritual possessions in a good and healthy balance. Such balance is a lifetime goal.read more... |
I'm Your Child
I am still singing, "Guide My Feet", as we raise money for the 100K Run. Today, I’m thinking about the last line of this song, "Lord, I don’t want to run this race in vain." Here again, I recall hearing this song sung slowly, and, after singing this line, a loud, "Have Mercy!" would spontaneously emerge. It was as if the person imagined the fretful possibility of losing it all at the end of the struggle and then thought, "No way, Lord! I don’t want to run this race in vain."

Hooray! It's Time for the 2nd Annual 100K Run!
I was shocked to hear Rick Warren’s recent story. Last December, with 10% of his members out of work due to the recession, his congregation’s budget was about to fall $900,000 short … unless the members responded with additional giving. Now that’s no surprise given the current economy, and was quite honestly comforting to hear in view of our own stewardship challenges among Northern California Northern Nevada local congregations and the Conference.
But here’s the surprise. Within two weeks, from gifts averaging about $100, not only had Rick Warren’s members closed the $900,000 shortfall in response to his request for additional giving, they raised a whopping $2.4 million!read more...
