"God's Economy", Chapter 2

The redefinition of money, found in "God's Economy", is a challenging one for me. I did not say it was a bad one, but it is making me rethink about things. For instance, I never realized how I had let money define people in my eyes. I often see the utter poor or the obviously rich person as somehow so different from me. I think I have often forgotten that we are all humans and no one is better than another. We all desire to be fully human and not to be defined by our wealth or poverty.

Another point that Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove brought up that made me think was that money will always be a problem and a power on this earth. It controls so many. No matter the economic system there remains greed and sin because we are human. As a Christian then my aim is to put God first and not look to money as a solution for my problems or something that will make me more fulfilled as a human. Wilson-Hartgrove challenged me to "unmask the power of money" and then live an abundant life in Christ.
