One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

"The most important one," answered Jesus, " is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these." - Mark 12:28-31

Stewardship is an act of love. It does not matter whether it is done through the giving of time, talent, or treasure. All are done out of love for God. This love comes out of our thankfulness for God’s grace in providing for our salvation and for our daily needs. God wants our love just as we want His. Stewardship in all 3 forms is not an admission price that must be paid to enter worship on Sunday nor is it a fee, which must be paid to avoid some sort of penalty. It is done out of gratitude to God and out of concern for the welfare of Jesus’ bride, the church. Please remember not only to love your neighbor, but also to love your God.
