The Lifestyle of Faithful Stewards

What do people who live the lifestyle of faithful stewards look like?  Can you tell by their appearance that they're faithful stewards?  Maybe they drop a big check into the offering plate on Christmas and Easter.  Maybe they serve Thanksgiving dinner every year to those who are in need.  Perhaps they serve as ushers or care for little ones in the nursery once a month in their churches.

These certainly are laudable acts of service but the word lifestyle suggests that more is involved.  If you look closely you might see that faithful stewards do appear different than some people, because they are "new creations" (2 Corinthians 5:17).  They have "put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" (Ephesians 4:22-23).  As "new creations" they seek God's will (Ephesians 5:17), and sporadic acts of service become part of dail life, namely the Lifestyle of Faithful Stewards.
