1 Peter 4:10 reads, “As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace.” The first principle of biblical money management is that God owns it all. We’re called simply to be stewards of His resources. But can stewardship be taken too far? Rob talks about that with Leo Sabo, president of the Christian Stewardship Network.
<ul><li>You have an article on our website titled, “When Stewardship Is Taken Too Far” and we haven’t covered stewardship from that angle before. But this happens, right?<ul><li>Stewardship in the Christian context is managing everything that God provides. Everyone is a steward, and everyone will give an account of their stewardship, so we must understand what that means and how we are to live it out. </li></ul></li><li>How did you come to realize that it’s possible to overdo stewardship?</li><li>Why do you suppose that when we learn something, we immediately act as experts on the topic?</li><li>Where in Scripture do you look for guidance on faithful stewardship?<ul><li>In 1 Corinthians 4:3-5, “As for me, it matters very little how I might be evaluated by any human authority. My conscience is clear, but that doesn’t prove I’m right. It is the Lord himself who will examine me and decide.”</li></ul></li></ul>Next, Rob answers these questions at 800-525-7000 or via email at Questions@MoneyWiseLive.org: 
<ul><li>Is there a more efficient way to keep track of the Compass spending plan than the envelope system? (Rob suggested the caller download the <a href="https://app.moneywise.org/">MoneyWise app</a>).</li><li>If you and your spouse started drawing on Social Security at age 62 and you are now aged 72, can you repay it all back to start over and almost double your benefits each month?</li><li>What are the differences between the subscription and free version of the MoneyWise app?</li><li>Is the Florida pre-paid tuition plan better than the 529 college savings plan?</li><li>What are the tax implications of selling a home you purchased with a cash-out refinance on your primary residence to operate as an Airbnb?</li><li>If you received a letter from the IRS claiming you had an error in your 1040 and owe $4000, but you haven't filed your taxes yet and suspect it's identity theft, how can you contact the IRS to resolve the issue?</li><li>Should you follow the advice of an investment advisor from your bank to invest in a low-risk product with funds you have from selling your home?</li><li>How should you pay for a $150,000 property to build your retirement home on if you and your husband are in your 50s and have about $1 million in retirement account assets</li><li>Does it hurt your credit score to pay on credit cards and student loan debt more than once a month?</li></ul>Be sure to check out the rest of MoneyWise.org to connect with a MoneyWise Coach or access our books and our many free helpful resources.
