To Produce More Stewardship Materials

WHEREAS, The Bible declares that we Christians are to be
“built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ
Jesus Himself being the Cornerstone” (Eph. 2:20); and

WHEREAS, Christian stewardship is so clearly taught in the
Scriptures (e.g., faithfulness of stewards, 1 Cor. 4:2; account-

ability to the Lord, Rom. 14:12; prioritizing, Matt. 6:23; the
blessings of giving, 2 Cor. 8:7, 11; etc.); and

WHEREAS, The Synod’s Stewardship Department has
increased its budget from about $400,000 in 1981—82 fiscal
year to about $1,750,000 in 1982—83 fiscal year, which should
enable it to provide more spiritual resources for the Districts
and parishes; therefore be it

Resolved, That the Synod in convention encourage the
Stewardship Department to produce more spiritual materials
for Districts and parishes; and be it further

Resolved, That men be called to the synodical staff positions
that will provide spiritual motivation and Biblical resources
for all stewardship endeavors of our Synod.
