Money and the Kingdom of God

Management must be aware of the assumptions that underlie the world’s monetary systems and recognize the risk associated with nonbiblical monetary policies. The degree to which these policies are inconsistent with a Christian worldview is accordingly a measure of the risk. In the end, nonbiblical systems will prove to be flawed and will produce chaos, making orderly business difficult. Therefore, organizational management, in whatever way possible, must encourage public policy aligned with Scripture and be monetarily wise about debt, investments, and reserves for difficult times. Debt should be used with prudence. Investments should reflect the wisdom of diversification not faddishness. Reserves should be segregated from working capital and used only in the event of true emergencies.
