Stewardship One-Liners

Good Stewards are formed, they are not forced.
Good Stewards are formed by Good Stewards.
"Good Steward" is not a title, it is a way we live like Jesus Christ
A Good Steward does not give until it hurts, he/she gives until it helps.
The first question of a Good Steward is: "For what am I responsible?"
A Good Steward accepts responsibility for:
- A faith that is mature and constantly growing
- A prayer life that is more about what I am willing to hear from God than what I want to say to God.
- All of the talents, abilities and gifts that God has given us, including Time and Treasure.
A Good Steward is responsible for the welfare and well being of his/her community of faith.
A Good Steward is a responsible evangelist who helps others find their faith and not bring our faith to them unless it is in the form of showing them our faith in action. -- We show them our faith, which gives us the credibility to tell them. If we don't show them our faith first, they are not going to believe what we tell them.
The first response of a Good Steward may be "Lord, I don't want to do that!" The ultimate response of a Good Steward is, "Yes, Lord!"
For disciples of Jesus Christ, stewardship is not an option, it is an obligation of our baptism.
Good Stewardship is not a destination, it is a way of getting to eternal life.
A full Stewardship parish is not a goal. It is a way of achieving many goals.
