GOOD STEWARDSHIP

WHAT IS GOOD STEWARDSHIP?

• Stewardship is defined as finding the true value of life.
• The first stewards of the earth were Adam and Eve.
• God placed them in The Garden of Eden and invited them to share in his creation.
• We similarily are called today by God to be good stewards.

"BE FRUITFUL AND MULTIPLY"

• God told Adam and Eve to "Be Fruitful And Multiply".
• Be fruitful and multiply does not just mean population wise.
• It means with plants and crops too.
• We need to respect and make wise use of the earth's natural resources.
• We need to replenish what we consume.

DOMINION

• Man's dominion over the fruits of the earth is limited.
• It is limited by the concerns of quality of life.
• We are reponsible for future generations; our children, their children.
• It also includes the preservation of animals.
• Hunting to extinction and overconsumption is unacceptable.

PROTECTION/REPLENISHING

• We need to protect God's creation not destroy.
• We need to protect forests and wildlife.
• We need to replenish by planting trees we cut down.
• Use solarpower and wind instead of oil.
• And reduce emissions which cause the ozone to fail.

Respect God's Creation
By Being A Steward Of His Nation.
