Description

Abstract: Stewardship is the framing for the entirety of the Christian life. From Genesis to Revelation, the theme is “One who is faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much” (Luke 16:10). This faithfulness extends to the calling of teaching, carry- ing the responsibility of training up the next generation of adults in any cultural context. From a stewardship perspective, students are given to a teacher for a time, and the teacher must make the most of that time for the benefit of all involved.
