Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Congregational Church and Parish of Canton Center, Formerly West Simsbury: Organized 1750 Text, Luke xii, 43: "Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his Lord will mike ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?" A Steward is one to whom is committed the management of the aft airs of another. One who is employed to conduct the domestic affairs of a family, especially those which relate to the provisions of a house, the meat and drink, is called the steward of the home. So in the text the steward is represented as the ruler of the house, to give them their meat in due season. And he is the faithful and wise steward, who manages in his office to have everything serviceable, and adapted to meet the recurring wants of the household. In Scripture, and in theological science, the ministers of Christ, whose office it is to dispense the provisions of the gospel to dying men, to preach its doctrines, to inculcate its duties, to administer its ordinances is the steward of God in things spiritual to His great household of mankind. So we find Paul saying to the Corinthians, "Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God." And averring, "Moreover it is required in stewards that a man be found faithful." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
