We're on a mission to teach Christian Economics to the world's 2.6 billion Christians before the next global market crash
✝️ Christian economics is the study of resource allocation through the lens of Jesus, guided by the story of creation, fall, and the restoration of all things through Jesus and his Kingdom. Christian economic principles are ways to minister, bless, and give people radiant glimpses of God’s goodness and glory.🎯 Sin is missing the mark of Christ’s loving perfection and it often applies to our economic choices. We've been doing "stewardship" all wrong.☠️ Sin and fallenness keep humanity trapped in the Mammonomics Cycle of rebellion → decline → warning → remnant → judgment → renewal.🏘️ God literally owns everything. Property ownership is not a human category. Humans are stewards who must allocate God’s resources in ways that reflect Christ. A Christian’s first economic baby step is obeying Jesus in renouncing everything that they have. The claim of human property ownership misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.🌳 The foundation of all economic justice is ensuring everyone has exploitation-free access to God’s natural resources in support of their survival needs. Christians allocate resources to embody God’s desire for everyone to have enough. Hoarding excess land and resources misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.🪙 Christians champion honest and unchanging money because it reflects the character of God. Dishonest money misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.🏦 Jesus commands Christians to lend freely and expect nothing (including principal) in return. Christians lend to bless. Profit on lending (money, houses, bonds, etc) misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.🔓 Christians are not unmerciful servants—they live out jubilee by forgiving debts as God has forgiven their debts and sins. Debt is slavery and slavery does not exist in the Kingdom of God. Refusing to forgive debts misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.👷 Christians earn by working with their own hands. Christians work, hire, buy, and sell to bless. Something for nothing denies first principles. God’s first revelation of Himself to humanity is as Creator. Christians exist to embody God’s nature to the world. Hoarding and extracting instead of creating and contributing embodies an anti-image that mauls the image of God as Creator. Profiting off the work of others (via stocks, unjust employment structures, etc) misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.🐍 Christians reject selfish ambition and practice gratitude, godliness, and contentment. Greed/covetousness (wanting more than we need) misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.🏛️ Christians obey Jesus and store up treasure in heaven by helping those in need. Christians are not fools who build bigger barns for retirement. Storing up earthly wealth misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.❤️ Christians live near the level of need and give restitutionally, justly (tithing as Christ commands), generously, and sacrificially, to bless. Withholding good when it is within their ability to act misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.💎 Christians believe they are one in Christ; there is to be no division in the body of Christ; the aim is equality; all suffer together; all rejoice together; Christians share a common standard of living that reflects God’s trinitarian unity and oneness. Allowing poverty and inequality to exist within the household of faith misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.💸 Christians put all their hope, trust, faith, comfort, reliance, security, and assurance in Christ alone. Christians do not attempt to serve two masters. Putting any hope, trust, faith, comfort, reliance, security, or assurance in money misses the mark of Christ’s loving perfection.⚔️ As citizens, stewards, priests, and ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, Christians reject Mammonomics and practice the economics of their true nation, joyfully allocating resources in ways that reflect and embody the word, will, way, teaching, and character of Jesus Christ, living in total faith, total surrender, and total obedience.If you love these truths, keep learning. If you hate these truths, keep learning!📖 The Back Story
Over the past forty years, I’ve sat through more than 2,000 sermons, but I’ve never heard a single sermon on biblical economics. Occasionally you’ll hear a radio-guru-style teaching on personal finance, but almost never on biblical economics.There’s confusion. Economics seems complicated. Math can be scary. People get deeply upset when you point out the problems with their favored economic system. What everyone is missing, particularly in churches, is that Christians have their own economics.There are currently hundreds of millions of Christians living in active opposition to God’s will for their resources. Most don’t even know it, and there’s a strong chance you’re among them.Of course, you want to honor God, trust the Holy Spirit, and reflect Christ in everything you do. That’s why it’s vitally important for you to understand Christian economics. We can’t expect God to bless our lives, families, churches, and nations when we’re living in sin. We need God’s blessing!Christian economics will deepen your faith, transform your life, and lead your family, friends, and strangers to ask you about money and Jesus. When the global church starts practicing Christian economics, expect a massive revival.💰 Here’s the state of our nation
• Christian personal income is estimated at $74 trillion annually.
• <2% of total personal income goes to Christian causes.
• Christians owe at least $20 trillion in household debt.
• Christians pay roughly $1 trillion in interest each year.
• It’s estimated Christians control over $230 trillion in wealth, including $100+ trillion in stocks, bonds, and rental properties.What will happen when the world’s 2.6 billion Christians start practicing Christian economics? Christian economic exploitation will drop to zero, poverty will start to disappear from the church, and we'll see $100+ trillion re-deployed into the kingdom.⏰ The time has come to practice Christian economics before it's too late.Remember: stewardship means allocating resources to maximally advance the kingdom of God. Everything else in mere mammon management.
