Economics

God has principles within the Bible that show how money should be established so as to keep it honest and prevent inflation. Once the government is allowed to manipulate the money supply, it will always be abusive of that power. The government can be corrupt in other ways as well since the policies will be driven by the people that vote for those politicians or by leaders that attain power by coercive means for their own agendas.

Economics is a critically important arena for Christians to be involved in. This is especially true since economics directly affects the welfare of the neighbors that surround me. Based on the impact it can have on people it is definitely a part of the Great commission. God cares about the welfare of people and he has provided us with the knowledge to provide for ourselves and our neighbors. Below are some videos that discuss the biblical principles that God has provided to mankind through his revelations about economics found within the Bible.
