Description: (hide)
Martin Collins, suggesting that the debasing of currency usually accompanies the increase of morally-debased people, maintains that the nexus of the two is not accidental. The descendants of Jacob are losing their inherited blessings to foreigners as a result of their moral corruption. This sermon focuses on the effects of debt bondage, and the loss of true productivity. The early colonialists did not rely on gold or silver currency, but they accumulated a high degree of wealth by maintaining trust, Christian faith, and a good work ethic. Socialism does not encourage productivity; only market economies can accomplish this. When government starts to regulate, productivity stultifies and grinds to a halt. The debtor has always been the bond- servant to the lender. We should reduce expenses today in order to be free tomorrow. Debt is designed to bring people under authority. Under the cursings in Deuteronomy 28, Israel will become the slave of aliens if they borrow from foreigners. The current Federal Reserve System, with its dispersal of ‘funny money’, has violated God’s principle of honest weights and measurements. Authentic trust should be placed in God alone. God has institutionally placed a seven year limit on debt. The Jubilee year guarantees the entire nation a clean slate, when debtors can go free. The tithing system enables blessings to God’s faithful. Malachi challenges us to put God’s financial and spiritual promises to a test. A person who is in debt cannot be an effective steward of God.
