🤯 Wow, if there ever was a Proverb that speaks to our 🤥😈corrupt monetary system it is this one… “The uncultivated field of the poor yields abundant food, but without justice, it is swept away.” ‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭13‬:‭23‬ ‭CSB‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1713/pro.13.23.CSB Basically, the 🌱 “uncultivated field” represents the humble or meager means of the poor that could produce a harvest 🌾 for them and help them change their lot in life. In fact, some commentators suggest that this is a reference to the productive potential of God’s creation, 🌍 available to anyone. ⚖️😡 However, injustice (corrupt economic/monetary policy) sweeps away that potential, frustrating the efforts of the poor and keeping them subjugated. Today, our corrupt monetary 💸system does the same. Inflation, debt-based currency, and unjust weights & measures ⚖️ rob the poor of their harvest before they can enjoy it. Wages don’t keep up. Savings are eroded. Opportunity is stifled. The tragedy isn’t lack of resources — it’s injustice distorting God’s design. 🏗️ Christians are called to build enterprises that resist this corruption — creating value, honoring🫡 just exchange, and unleashing abundance for families and communities. 👉 What would it look like if we stewarded money and business in line with God’s justice instead of man’s manipulation?

If you came to Christ through emotional or intellectual coercion and not through the power of the Holy Spirit, then you will be reliant not on Jesus, but on the ones by whom you were coerced.

I’m learning the painful, yet freeing, lesson that God will work in spite of, or through, my failures as a parent.

Most Christians despise their eternal inheritance because they have mis-applied the lie that “money is the root of all evil.” How could we have an economic inheritance in heaven when money is evil? Instead, we assume heaven will be something akin to the perfect socialist commune where there will be no money and everyone will be equal. That’s not what the Bible teaches. Learn more about the profound biblical significance of money here, including its metaphoric nature to the eternal value of God’s people… https://redemptiveeconomics.thinkific.com/courses/RedemptiveEnterprise

Money, like seed, should not be hoarded, but actively invested to generate wealth that blesses others and glorifies God. When it is comes to capital allocation, we should be acting like farmers, seeking to plant seeds for future harvest and God's provision. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redemptive-economics/id1762242440?i=1000708166205

Intrinsic value does NOT exist in anything…other than in God himself. He is the source of everything, the person in which literally everything else is dependent. He is the only thing that has inherent, intrinsic value.

Like fruit🍎, profit is both the yield and the means of future production. As Christian entrepreneurs, we’re called to reinvest the seed 🌱for the sake of God’s redemptive purposes. #RedemptiveEconomics #Pittsburgh https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/redemptive-economics/id1762242440?i=1000705208504
