Most people have no idea how our monetary system works. For example, very few people could explain the way dollars are created. Unfortunately, the truth is hard to come by, but as Christians, we cannot be ignorant any longer.

Today, we discuss Principle #5 and Mike begins to pull the curtain back on the way banks and our government utilize "unjust weights and measures" to defraud the American public.

GOD'S DOMINION & OUR STEWARDSHIP

1. Principle #1 - We acknowledge God’s dominion over all resources, and the
   authority of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Our role, through “secondary sovereignty,” granted to us by God, is to steward His resources.
2. Principle #2 - We trust in God’s goodness, living with an abundance
   mentality and enthusiasm to be “fruitful and multiply.”
3. Principle #3 - As stewards of God’s resources we invest in what we know
   and understand, and what allows us to leverage our wealth of knowledge
   and unique, God-given gifts.
4. Principle #4 - We are active, not passive, investors of God's resources as stewards who will be held accountable.
5. Principle #5 - We embrace honest money, banking, and investment
   practices in obedience with God’s mandate for “just weights & measures.”

Nowadays you might hear a lot about passive income or passive investments that promise streams of effortless income. However, as Christians, there is no such thing as passive investing.

Instead, we are called by God to be actively involved in our investments and business ventures as people who will be held accountable to how we manage His resources.

We look at Jesus' parable of the rich fool and apply this teaching to our own investment plans. Young and old alike, we should be taking an active role in our investments.

GOD'S DOMINION & OUR STEWARDSHIP

1. Principle #1 - We acknowledge God’s dominion over all resources, and the
   authority of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Our role, through “secondary sovereignty,” granted to us by God, is to steward His resources.
2. Principle #2 - We trust in God’s goodness, living with an abundance
   mentality and enthusiasm to be “fruitful and multiply.”
3. Principle #3 - As stewards of God’s resources we invest in what we know
   and understand, and what allows us to leverage our wealth of knowledge
   and unique, God-given gifts.
4. Principle #4 - We are active, not passive, investors of God's resources as stewards who will be held accountable.

Most Christians believe all they have to do is follow a formula for investing, prescribed by Wall Street, to guarantee retirement. However, this is not what the Bible teaches.

Today, Mike discusses the third redemptive economic principle which involves leveraging our wealth of knowledge and unique, God-given gifts to contribute to human flourishing. We can't do this with our wealth trapped in the stock market.

GOD'S DOMINION & OUR STEWARDSHIP

1. Principle #1 - We acknowledge God’s dominion over all resources, and the
   authority of Jesus Christ through the Holy Spirit. Our role, through “secondary sovereignty,” granted to us by God, is to steward His resources.
2. Principle #2 - We trust in God’s goodness, living with an abundance

It can be easy as Christian business leaders to say that God is good. However, do your attitudes and actions in your business reflect the truth of God's goodness?

Do you believe that no matter what God has your best interest at heart?

Or do you feel that God is holding out on you for some reason?

Mike unpacks Redemptive Economic Principle #2, under the category of God's Dominion and Our Stewardship, which is that We Trust In God's Goodness, Living with an Abundance Mentality and Enthusiasm to be Fruitful and Multiply.
