A steward is a person who manages another’s property or financial affairs, and who seeks to manage those resources according to the owner's vision and values.  Regarding your spiritual growth, money and possessions can either be a great catalyst or a stumbling block.  The Bible is clear that there is a direct correlation between your relationship to material things and your relationship to God. In fact, money and possessions are the chief rival god in most people's lives, as it can steal your heart from God (Matthew 6:21).

Fortunately, the Bible offers a tremendous amount of insight into God's heart on this issue, as there are over 2,300 scriptures that deal with money and possessions, more than almost any other topic.  Here are some of the foundational principles taught through Moneywise:

1. You are not ultimately meant for this world (Philippians 3:20, 1 Peter 1:4).
2. Everything is God’s and you are a steward (1 Chronicles 29:11-12).
3. In order to steward well, you need to first manage well (Proverbs 27:23).
4. Money and possessions are a heart issue (Matthew 6:21).
5. Debt presumes upon the future and can lead to bondage (James 4:13-15, Proverbs 22:7)
6. Give joyfully (2 Corinthians 9:7).
7. Save for future needs, but not too much (Proverbs 21:20, Luke 12:13-21)
8. God, not money or possessions is your ultimate security (1 Timothy 6:17)
