Week 9
- Finish the rest of What has the Government Done with our Money? Imagine you had to explain our current monetary system to someone who was totally ignorant of economics. How would you explain it in two paragraphs?
- What biblical principle explains the actions of the government in seizing power over the monetary system?
- Read the first four chapters of Honest Money, by Dr. North. Explain the biblical importance of maintaining righteous standards in currency. How is that contradicted in our society today?
- Read “A Biblical Critique of Inflation” from Introduction to Christian Economics. Analyze the scriptural arguments Dr. North uses. Is this proper interpretation of the text from Isaiah? What other uses of Scripture give this one validity?
- Read Matthew 6:19-34. What are various ways of investing our treasure in heaven? What attitude should Christians take toward handling money?
