Jesus tells a surprising story about a dishonest manager and a generous master—not to praise dishonesty, but to reveal the genius of living with kingdom-minded wisdom. The master’s generosity opens the door for the servant’s shrewd action, and together they teach us something vital: God entrusts us with his resources not to hoard, but to handle them carefully and purposefully for his mission. Shrewd stewardship means using earthly things in ways that make an eternal difference—managing what God gives with wisdom, creativity, and a heart aligned to the generosity of our Master. A sermon on Luke 16:1-13

In Joshua 7, after Israel's defeat at Ai due to Achan's sin, a pile of stones was erected over Achan's body as a lasting reminder of the consequences of disobedience. This served as a tangible representation of sin and its repercussions.
A modern proverb says, “Those who do not know history are doomed to repeat it.” God takes sin seriously. Every sin is an act of rebellion against him. It is wise for us to set up stones of remembrance that not only remind us of God’s mercy, but also warn us against falling into sin as they did (cf. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13).
