How Our View of God Shapes Our Stewardship

A. W. Tozer once wrote in The Knowledge of the Holy, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Our understanding of God influences everything—including how we handle what He has entrusted to us. In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25: 14-30), Jesus tells a story that reveals how our perception of God directly affects our stewardship. Three servants are given different amounts of money while their master is away. Two invest what they receive and are rewarded for their faithfulness. The third, however, buries his portion out of fear. His failure wasn’t just financial—it was a failure of understanding his master’s character.

Frugality vs. Stewardship: What’s the Difference?

Many people consider frugality to be a Christian virtue—but is it, really? We often equate frugality with good financial stewardship, but they’re not exactly the same thing.

If you or someone in your household is a conscientious penny-pincher, you likely embrace frugality as a lifestyle. Frugality certainly has virtues, such as self-control and patience. Benjamin Franklin’s well-known phrase, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” supports the idea that being financially cautious is a wise practice.
