Biblical Stewardship - How Ron Paul's Ideas Support Christian Missions

A couple of weeks ago I attended the Sunday evening service at a local church. One of the shepherds made a point of commenting on the increasing difficulty of meeting the financial needs of church missionaries serving in Spain.

As the Euro and other foreign currencies progressively eclipse the dollar, how long will the church remain oblivious to the root causes of this phenomenon? I find it quite disheartening to see sincere believers so easily duped by the empty platitudes nominally "Christian" presidential candidates spout. They talk about "Reducing Spiraling Health Care Costs," "Winning the Global Economic Competition," and "Strengthening the Economy."

Only one presidential candidate has the intelligence and integrity to tell the American people exactly what's wrong with our economy -- explaining precisely why the value of the dollar is plummeting -- and that candidate is Dr. Ron Paul.

Ron Paul's clear message is that out of control federal financing of foreign wars with fiat money is the root cause of US dollar woes. Even in the midst of exhausting campaigning on the presidential trail, Dr. Paul is not content to rest and do nothing about it. He recently introduced the "Honest Money Act," so simple even a child could understand it, but so profound that the chairman of the Federal Reserve, Ben Bernanake, is confounded.

There is a popular bumper sticker that reads "We're spending our children's inheritance" and we all chuckle at the sight of it. Sadly, however, that's precisely what the federal government is doing. Every de-novo dollar printed is a deceitful government act extending an all but invisible hand into our personal funds, the exact moral equivalent of bank robbery.

Fellow Christian, are you not aware that this kind of fiscal chicanery is clearly condemned in the bible? Speaking of commercial transactions, scripture says:

"You shall have just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin:" - Lev 19:36

"Thou shalt not steal" is, as we all know, one of the "top ten." We see that on bumper stickers as well, and chuckle when we read the punchline; "- the government hates competition." Why is it, then, that we do not regularly hear Ron Paul's clear message thundered from pulpits across the land? How long will we let dishonest politicians rob us blind? How long will the Lord allow it?

"Will a man rob God?" - Mal 3:8

The effect on the church of the federal government creating "money" from thin air is this: the state is reaching into church coffers and taking funds devoted to missions or charity, usurping them for its own questionable ends.

I'll save Dr. Paul's plans for the IRS for another essay, as the result of congregations suddenly having ALL of their earnings at their own disposal should need no explaining!

Like the chill winter of Narnia in the C. S. Lewis story "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe," a dismal season of ignorance and apathy blew into our land in 1913. That was the year when the "Federal" Reserve bank was established, and the genesis of the "income" tax.

It is long past time for a thaw! It is long past time for Christendom to wake up to the truth, listen to the teaching of the scriptures and of Ron Paul, and demand a return to honest money in the United States!
