As a member of the church, Christ’s body, you’re called to leave a mark on the world, something that tells those around you that you’re not indifferent to suffering and injustice.

First of all, there’s the call of Jesus to go into all the world and make disciples. That’s certainly making a mark, as is offering practical help to those less fortunate, or doing random acts of kindness in our communities.

In short, to leave a mark means doing something and not being passive. We’ve all been given time and talents and treasures, and learning how to use those gifts wisely and well is what stewardship is all about. There are ways we can learn and practice godly stewardship in our homes, our communities and our churches.
