What does the requirement for stewards to be faithful apply to?

The requirement for stewards to be faithful applies to whatever they are in charge of, whether a business or a church activity. Since stewards are responsible for what is entrusted to them, God expects faithfulness in every area of oversight and management.

Les explains that in 1 Corinthians chapter 4, verse 2, Paul says it is required of stewards to be faithful. Les teaches that this requirement applies to whatever we are in charge of, whether it is a business or a church activity. If we are in charge, then we are responsible, and God expects us to be faithful. This follows Paul's description of ministers of Christ as stewards, or keepers, or managers of the mysteries of God.

1 Corinthians 4:2

Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
