Â
STEWARDSHIP SENTENCES based on 1 Corinthians 1:20 â âWhere is the one who is wise?
Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom
of the world?â Godâs ways are certainly not the worldâs ways, including the way God tells us to
manage the resources Heâs given to us. The world says, âhold on, hold back and gather up.â
Jesus says to store up treasure in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy and where no thief
breaks in to steal. Whose way do you think is best? What is wiser: the wisdom of the financial
gurus or the foolishness of God? (lcms.org/stewardship)

About the Cover: Looking up to a man hanging on a cross is considered
foolishness to many people in this world. Godâs Word teaches us that, by faith,
we see in Christâs work on the cross the power of God, which brings us
forgiveness and salvation. Because of the powerful work of Christ on the cross,
we see that âthe foolishness of God is wiser than menâ (I Corinthians 1:25).
Forgiveness is only found in Jesus, Godâs Son, who died on the cross to forgive
our sins.Â
