We will all be held accountable for the amount of light we have received; we're called to be good stewards of God's truth, exposing ourselves to it consistently and asking the Spirit's help to apply it in our lives.

Ken Boa continues to discuss stewardship, with a focus on our management and stewardship of time. He reflects on the brevity of our lives and the fact that God gives us all the time we need to accomplish His purposes.
Ken Boa focuses on the need to develop a stewardship mindset, which includes stewarding our time as well as our resources well, in this continued teaching on stewardship and purpose.
Ken Boa introduces the final section of this series: Stewardship and Purpose.
