In the March 2023 issue of StewardCAST, LCMS Stewardship Ministry begins a series of reflections on the trusty old stewardship hymn “We Give Thee But Thine Own.” The issue examines each line of this hymn, reflecting on how the words frame stewardship in the right way: “All that we have is Thine alone, a trust, O Lord, from Thee.”
