10 CALVIN SYNOD HERALD Calvin Synod Homeland and Overseas Mission Jesus says: "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” (Luke 6:38 NIV). In this Bible verse Jesus teaches us specifically how to live a life of stewardship. Stewardship means managing the resources wisely that God has given you and me. According to Christ’s teaching, being good stewards of God needs to be our lifestyle. Three different times, in Luke chapter 6, Jesus said that if we don’t make our own lifestyle of giving, sharing, and loving there is nothing that separates us from the sinners and the world (v. 32-34). Let us follow our Savior Jesus Christ who modeled this lifestyle for us. We will reap many benefits and blessings by living a life of stewardship. May God bless us in our Christian calling of being good stewards. USA 1. We encourage our congregations' youngsters to attend the annual Calvin Synod Summer Youth Camp. 2.
