    Kingdom economics?

    By Jeremy | July 20, 2006

    "Show me the money," and, "It's all about the benjamins." These are just two recent pop culture catchphrases that illustrate our universal relationship to money. But what are the economics of "the Kingdom of God" that Jesus proclaimed? Capitalist, mercantilist, imperial, tribal, communist, socialist, or none of the above? Do they subscribe to Smith or Marx or Keynes or Friedman? Or are Kingom economics altogether different?
    "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also....
    "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."

    Wondering about class and poverty and wealth and economic justice? The last three posts are a preview of some of the questions I'll be wrestling with in the weeks and months to come. movie cox nude courtneyporn star moviepreviews thumb movieporn thumbs moviemovies rape inall time of movies scariestsex trailers movieslut movies Map
