And it repented the Lord that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart” Genesis 6:5-6. Genesis 10-11 gives the account of the new beginnings of man after the flood.

CENTRAL THOUGHTEvery believer should realize that God is the giver of life unto whom he/she is accountable. TEXT: Eph. 5:15-17; 1 Cor.6:12-20. INTRODUCTIONStewardship encompasses different areas of human activity.
