welcome to multiple strands

a place to converse, virtually, on a variety of topics, bringing together multiple strands to encourage, question, challenge, ponder, and edify. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart. (Eccl. 4.12)

Stewardship


Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.
Luke 12:48 (ESV)

After speaking several parables and teaching about money and wealth, Jesus summarizes the thoughts with this statement. It is more expansive: stewardship is not only concerning money, though it includes money. It is also gifts, abilities, time, physical abilities, leadership, talents, etc. 

What "much" have we been given, each of us individually and collectively, for which we are compelled to be good stewards?
