Keith Atkisson BUS303 Business for Nonprofits Essay-Week 3-Christian Stewardship and Ownership February 7, 2015 Biblical views of Christian Stewardship and Ownership To take care of, oversee, manage, and guard from harm. These four terms are a clear depiction of stewardship. On the other hand, dominion, control, and proprietorship are the terms of ownership, and if they are engaged in, they then become worldly behaviors, idols and stumbling blocks and as such are in direct opposition to God’s will and his purpose.

All of these people assist in disaster relief, run charity shops, operate homeless shelters, and aid those in need all over the world.
