Reviving Stewardship Transforming Stewards Erika F Puni, PhD Stewardship Ministries Director General Conference

Biblical stewardship is misunderstood by many of our church members to mean “tithe and offerings” only. This misconception, and our constant focus on “giving” (calendar of offerings) has created the following problems:  Mistrust of church leaders and systems  Diversion of tithe and offerings by members to other persons & groups  Project giving replacing systematic giving  Resistance to stewardship by pastors and church members Stewardship Today

In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.” Matthew 23:27,28 (NIV) Jesus and the Two Levels
