Blessing others is our role as believers. Christ called the disciples to feed the thousands in order to teach them the principle of being good stewards of the untold riches of God’s grace. How can you be a good steward?
The steward is often unbiblically characterized as one who wisely withholds and saves. This is the antithesis of biblical stewardship. The evil steward was judged for this very action.

Following Christ is being, not doing.
1 Peter 1:15-16
“But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.”
One can "do good" and still not be a follower of Christ. A true follower of Christ does good because of his being like Christ. The result is automatic.

IF God were a man, HE would have created the whole of the universe in a process that would have lasted billions of years. HE would have told everyone how HE spoke it into existence in a matter of just six twenty-four hour days. He would have demanded that HIS WORD was to be believed as absolute truth. IF God were a man, HE would be astounded that no one believed HIM. HE would then change His story from 6 days to thousands of years, then millions and only when pressured admit the fact that it took billions; IF God were a man.

We all have talents. Some, are yet undiscovered. God, who gave us those talents, is the key to their discovery and use. Making ourselves available to His use is the first step. Why would He divulge hidden potential to those who would abuse and misuse it for selfish goals? It is interesting to note that the reason the “Steward” lost his talent was because he hoarded it. Those who were rewarded, were rewarded for their surrender to the master’s purpose for the talents given.

Continue to pray that God kills your "Holy Cows". By nature, we are too religious. The “traditions of men” often mask themselves as righteous without Biblical basis. Always question everything in the light of God’s Word. This can be painful at times, but it is always liberating. Remember, we have but one Lord to impress.
Mark 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
