Paul J. Meyer has proven that Christian stewardship and financial success go
hand in hand. He is inspiring a whole generation. He writes,
"Most people think giving is a luxury they can’t afford. They say they’ll
give when they get rich. They say giving is painful because it demands
sacrifice. They say a person who gives seriously is a saint, or a sucker. They
are wrong.
“Jesus said “Give and it
will be given to you” Luke 6 v 38. The person who meets that challenge, who
determines to become a giver in all five resources – relationships, spiritual
values, finance, information, and time/ energy – will enjoy the peace and the
thrill and the financial security of proving God’s promise.
“I don’t give to be paid back – That is hard for me to explain to
people. I give because I have learned I need to give. I feel almost selfish. If
I could, I’d give every moment of the day. That is the thrill of giving.
Paul, when asked how he would like to be remembered in his hometown
replies,
“As a Christ-like person – a Christian who did not just think like a
Christian and believe like a Christian, but acted like one towards those less
fortunate – who cared not only in thought but in action. I would like to be a
role model to my family and others as far as stewardship of time, talent, and
money is concerned.
