As stewards of God’s resources, we invest in areas where we have specialized knowledge, God-given talents, and vocational calling. This ‘comparative advantage’ enables us to serve others most effectively while glorifying God.
From 1 Corinthians 12 Mike argues that confessing, “Jesus is Lord,” carries theological and political-economic implications, making economic activity non-neutral and every economic decision an act of allegiance.
Mike explains that spiritual gifts are divinely distributed “capital” for the common good, compares the body metaphor to economic interdependence and comparative advantage, and stresses that efficiency without agape love is empty.
