“God gave us sex, money, and power to steward.  Yes, these are dangerous things to steward and we see the whole world obsessed with them.  But as we fear them, we abdicate our stewardship of them.  And what happens when we who are called to steward abdicate our role?  Hollywood took on the task to steward how the world should view sex;  Wall Street took on the task of how we should steward money; and Washington took over the task of how we should steward power.  These are unconnected governors and they haven’t done the job very well, but how could they if they are disconnected from the Creator of these things?”  p. 103  City Signals, Brad Smith.
