Does Buying & Owning Gold Demonstrate A Lack Of Faith? Mar 1, 2010: Does Buying & Owning Gold Demonstrate A Lack Of Faith? While some may say it does, I say it demonstrates wisdom.

The Economic Lessons of Bethlehem Dec 25, 2009: At the heart of the Christmas story rests some important lessons concerning free enterprise, government, and the role of wealth in society.

Let’s begin with one of the most famous phrases: "There’s no room at the inn." This phrase is often invoked as if it were a cruel and heartless dismissal of the tired travelers Joseph and Mary. Many renditions of the story conjure up images of the couple going from inn to inn only to have the owner barking at them to go away and slamming the door.

Debt Release Debate Dec 24, 2009: The letter below comes from Ted Weiland. I know very little about Mr. Weiland, but felt that it was worth posting this letter with some additional comments.

Here it is:

Interest = Iniquity & Injury Dec 24, 2009: O foolish (unintelligent and unwise) ~~Galatians~~ Christians, who bewitched (maligned and fascinated) you not to obey the truth, to whom before your eyes Jesus Christ was written before among you crucified? –Galatians 3:1

We as Christians have surely “played the harlot” when it comes borrowing and debt. We should be ashamed by our impurity and exposing our nakedness to the worldly, secular, pagan, unrighteous lenders. And yes, I ashamedly speak for myself here as well.

Christians Living In Babylonian Captivity Dec 16, 2009: Unlike Israel that was carried away into Babylon, many Christians unknowingly and willingly have waltzed their way into Babylonian captivity. How is that you say?

The Righteous Lender..."Will Surely Live," Declares The Lord Dec 15, 2009: Not only is there righteous and unrighteous money, there are also righteous and unrighteous lenders. But how do you know which is which? Simple...see what God's Word says in Ezekiel 18.

Worst Case Scenario Dec 15, 2009: I was discussing with a friend of mine last week about how ignorant the Body of Christ is when it comes to possible economic and societal outcomes in the future. I find that very few Christians are even aware that some serious changes could take place in the future, let alone even prepared for it.

Intergenerational Home Ownership Dec 8, 2009: One of the great demises of our society has been children leaving home, never returning and then turning their parents over to someone else when they get old. This may be satisfactory for the world, but this should not be satisfactory for the genuine Christian.

Morally Correct Money Oct 15, 2009: Genuine Christians recognize unrighteousness and evil. As I've stated many times on here, our monetary and financial system is an unrighteous and corrupt system that violates God's commands for honest or morally-correct money.

I see no reason why genuine Christians should be involved in or party to such a system. A system that God calls an abomination, a system that takes advantage of people and robs them of their money, a system based on greed, a system based on deception and manipulation.
