The blessing of material wealth that many of us enjoy (especially when compared to the poverty that other nations are experiencing) is something worth giving intentional thought to, as well as expressing thanks to God for His goodness. In what ways does He want us to practice wise stewardship? How can we emphasize the eternal over the temporal? And more importantly, how can we effectively train our children in this area of money management? This week we’ll explore some ideas.
