Godonomics

Four powerful words: “We Can’t Afford It.” These are words that are lobotomized out of the vocabulary of insatiable materialism and politicians. Instead of admitting that we as a nation can’t afford helpful, but expensive programs; we keep spending. (Both Democrats and Republicans Spend, Spend, Spend!) Washington D.C. lives up to the meaning of poli-tics– “Poly” meaning…

I had an opportunity to speak with Glenn Beck recently about the Biblical case for free market capitalism.  Here is a clip. I was reading the book of Ruth again this week and struck by God’s powerful record of Godly business men.  The book of Ruth should be called the Book of Naomi.   It…

In the Old Testament, Ruth chapter 2, we see a great example of Godonomics. His name is Boaz, a rather wealthy land owner. 1 “There was a relative of Naomi’s husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech” He is such a successful producer that he is able to both hire lots…

   Here is a recent sermon describing how we can all worship through our work, without worshipping our work 09/02/12 “Uncovering the Entrepreneur” (Chad Hovind) The Gift of Work At the heart of Godonomics is the value and God-given joy of work. Work and labor are gifts from God. He has given us talents to develop…

About once or twice a month, a politician or religious leader pulls out the ole, “The Bible tells us to be our brother’s keeper.”  The problem is … Being your brother’s keeper is not only NOT prescribed in the Scriptures; it’s almost a textbook definition of codependency.  I’d encourage anyone to try to be anyone’s keeper…

There is an often misunderstood, but relatively well known passage in the Bible about Jesus’s anger that speaks to this issue: 45 Then He went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in it, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house is a house of prayer,’ but…

John Welsey: The Capitalist and Fan of Godonomics  (who would be sadly disappointed in the Methodist church today). “We must exhort all Christians to gain all they can and to save all they can; that is, in effect grow rich.” Wesley insisted. Yet the corollary was that this gaining of wealth was to allow the…

  In the midst of political uncertainty some fear donkeys, some elephants, and others rhinos; but’s it’s pigs we must keep our eyes on. Animal Farm warned us that Pigs are those political leaders that think “all are equal, but some are MORE equal than others.” Yes, pigs make rules for others that don’t apply…

Property Rights are the key difference between Socialism and Capitalism.   Ask many on the street to define these terms and they will stumble for a comprehensive explanation. They may –perhaps- mumble something about capitalism being about greed and socialism being about generosity. The facts are quite the opposite. Here is a working definition. Capitalism: The…

Few women practiced Godonomics better than Lydia. Her story from the book of acts is an example of a leader, an entrepreneur, a successful business builder, and mother. She produces a high end product (a seller of purple material) to a high end clientele in the strategic sales town of Philippi nestled on border of…
