The Ministry of Prosperity--"There Should Be No Poor Among You" (Dt. 15:4) Also beloved, do not be like moneylenders to the needy of our people, neither directly, nor indirectly as member beneficiaries of an institution. The church (our spiritual family upon earth) should be a separate organism in regard to the state (including the non-Christian financial institutions registered with the state), and our financial direction and exemplification should be submissive and congruous with the financial specifications of the Bible. We have a need to develop our own collective savings and loan institutions for the needs of our poor; and large Christian group enterprises, not entrepreneurships, such as helping other cities in our own nation or in another country. One reason I can think of for this is to provide community housing and farmland where we can begin to live together and provide for ourselves. We should also develop Christian legal and business schools to train students according to Biblical standards concerning financing. We are lacking organizational skills to unify the Christian peoples and to establish Christian business enterprises, not only churches, throughout the world for the purpose to avoid being member beneficiaries and indirect partakers of the indiscriminate, financial lawlessnesses of corporations, such as borrowing or loaning at interest. One psychological reason (deception) that so many hearts of us Americans have been shadowed from enlightenment of the no-interest-to-other-Christians and the seven-year rule may be that we were encouraged to buy US Savings Bonds in elementary school. I know dear children want to help their country and invest, but the Lord's direction must have first place upon every issue, including financial management and application. Hopefully, in the future our investments will be in the advancement of God's people. |
