My long-time friend Mart Green, of the Green family that owns Hobby Lobby, is the founder of Mardel Christian Stores and heads up the missions organization Every Tribe Every Nation. I thought this was a wonderful article he wrote (and not just because he mentions my books).

Even many children in Christian families don’t see their parents give and are not taught and encouraged to give themselves. So they become keepers and accumulators, and essentially self-preoccupied materialists.

A maneira como administramos o dinheiro de Deus é um assunto bíblico central de extrema importância. Portanto, a mordomia financeira deve ser abordada por líderes cristãos sem necessidade de justificativas— nós que somos chamados a “anunciar todo o desígnio de Deus” ao povo que Ele nos confia (Atos 20.27).

Today’s guest post is by our dear friend Diane Meyer, who tells a great and fun story that really fits with the character of our generous, delightful God. Most giving stories I hear don’t involve a dice game and a Harley Davidson motorcycle. But that’s what makes this one so unique.

In his book The Great Ascent: The Struggle for Economic Development in Our Time, economist Robert Heilbroner recommended visualizing ourselves doing the following, step by step. 

How we manage God’s money is a central biblical subject of extreme importance. Hence, financial stewardship should be unapologetically addressed by Christian leaders—we who are called upon to declare “the whole counsel of God” to the people He entrusts to our care (Acts 20:27, ESV).
