Robert Morris writes about being a good steward with God's money, because that's where the money comes from, God. He owns it, we are merely the stewards. One important thing about being a good steward and the reason I bought this book is to learn how to stay out of debt. Morris writes about the fact that one reason we get into debt is that we want to acquire "stuff." This is a material mindset and worldly. It is not of God. When we break this desire for "stuff," we can stop the impulse buying. Morris writes that credit cards are not inherently bad. If you do not charge so much that you cannot pay it off at the end of the month, you are still a good steward. Another thing Morris writes about in this book that will help to control impulse spending is keeping a budget. He even gives a suggestion for people whose paychecks fluctuate from month to month. He writes that one should average them. However, that doesn't work in extreme cases where one sometimes has a monthly paycheck of zero one month and fifteen hundred another, or what happens when one becomes unemployed for a period of months. In the case of a fluctuating paycheck the best way to deal with it, I've found is to make a separate budget for each month.
Finally, Morris closes with the main reason for the book. We are to be good stewards so we can bless others. It will make us joyful as we give to others, most of us find this to be true.
Morris is an excellent writer and has authored a wonderful book which is a good resource for Christians.
Very good book describing the blessing of living a generous life. It explains how to ge there!
Pastor Morris delves into the idea of stewardship-- the idea that God owns everything and that He has called us to be good stewards of what He had given. Being good stewardship enables us to then, in turn, to be able to experience the joyous blessing of generous giving to help others.
This is a wonderful book and one I so appreciate for giving me key insights and elements of the spiritual foundation I needed as l learn to daily walk as a good steward. Thank you loads!
Robert Morris shows in this book how wise management of the money God lends us results in his blessing us with more. He isn't teaching a prosperity message that we give to get, but rather that our generosity opens the door for God to bless us. "He who faithful in little is faithful in much." This is a biblical principle that can be applied to money and much more in our lives. God blesses our generosity as he blesses every area of our obedience to his instructions.
