EFFECTIVE STEWARDSHIP
Applying Bible Principles
When he was president of InterVarsity
Christian Fellowship, Gordon MacDonald said, "One of the greatest
missing teachings in the American church today is the reminder to men
and women that nothing we have belongs to us."
We own nothing. We have been given
material means to use, but not to own. All that we have belongs
to God. He is our Source according to Psalm 62:5. We are
only managers and stewards of what He has entrusted to us.
Because all that we have belongs to God,
and because He gives us the ability to obtain wealth, every spending
decision is in reality a spiritual decision. According to First
Corinthians 10:31, our constant goal must be to glorify God in all of
life, including how we use His resources.
Stephen Olford wrote this: “… man's
chief end is 'to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.' We are to
glorify God by our worshipful praise (Pslam 50:23). We are to
glorify Him by our consistent fruitbearing (John 15:8). We are to
glorify Him by our spiritual unity (Rom. 15:6). We are to glorify
Him by our entire dedication (1 Cor. 6:20). And we are to glorify
Him by our good works (Matt. 5:16).
In this last category is included the matter
of giving. Only in this way can we provide for 'honest things in
the sight of the Lord.' The glory of God should motivate us to
give and to give our best."
If our goals and ambitions are truly set on
spiritual things, if our emphasis in life is to glorify God, we will
use the funds He has "loaned" to us on a temporary basis to glorify
Him. We will put His money and possessions to good use by giving
to His work and by storing up "treasures in heaven" (Matt. 6:19-21).
There are two key questions to be asked
concerning money and possessions: First, are you glorifying God
in how you are using the money and possessions He has entrusted to
you? And second, are you viewing these things as yours or as His?
“I’m Doing My Part For God’s House,
With His Help.”
You are being asked to pray and make a faith promise with God for our
capital campaign to ensure the mortgage payment. The funds will be used
only for the payment of the mortgage separate from the general fund.
There are envelopes on the table for your use. It will be exciting to
watch the
power of God at work!

WEEKLY BIBLE STUDIES
"I attend Bible Studies because (it helps me) to have a significantly
stronger relationship with Christ Jesus via His Word and the Holy
Spirit." "I attend Bible Studies because I challenge myself to
better understand God's Word." "I attend Bible Studies because I
need it." These are only a few reasons why people attend Bible
Studies at Mountain View Lutheran Church. What is your
reason? We would love to see you at Bible Study.
Sunday Mornings at 9:30 am
Randy Mueller is continuing a study on "Revelation"
in the upstairs conference room. It is an in depth study over the

God’s Word. We explore Luther’s Small Catechism and the Lutheran
Hymnal as integral resources for living out our faith in a spiritually
