We acknowledge this first in
the stewardship of our time. Accepting the
Biblical model of returning 10% of the “first fruits” to the Lord, we
attempt to utilize at least 10% of our time for prayer, reflection, and
works of mercy and ministry.
1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
