The United States has been a socialist country since at least the turn of the 20th century, dependent on coercive redistribution and crony capitalism.
So, what does the bible have to say about creating value and doing business in a culture characterized by idleness and complacency?
In today's episode, we begin looking at Redemptive Economic Principle #4... "We reject idleness and dependence on coercive redistribution, instead choosing to create, build, and invest wisely, knowing that we will give an account for our management of God’s resources."
We examine Luke 12:13-48, where a man demands Jesus redistribute wealth for his own selfish purposes. Instead of playing economic enforcer, Jesus warns against greed and the desire for possessions through the parable of the rich fool.
All productivity ultimately depends on God's sovereignty, not human effort alone. Therefore, God calls us to entrust all of our productive efforts to him, as a redemptive force that serves kingdom purposes rather than participating in corrupt economic systems.
