\"give\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the past year or so I’ve packed my ideological bags and have taken a journey. \u00a0The road has been narrow at times, steep at times, muddy at times, an full of forks. \u00a0Although I am still traveling there is one thing I know for sure. \u00a0I started on the Left but I will not be returning there. \u00a0The currancy which I have will not afford the trip back there. \u00a0As a Christian I have subscribed to God’s economy.\u00a0YWHW’s economy to be exact so not to confuse which god I speak of.<\/p>\n

There are many reasons for my decision but the one I will focus on is a highly charged one. \u00a0As a human we all have rights. \u00a0Every right has a positive and negative side to the equation. \u00a0For example, I have a right to be happy. \u00a0Being happy to me means living. \u00a0Living is a positive. \u00a0But in order for me to have my happiness and live it means that others must aquiesce to my right by not killing me. \u00a0To give me my happiness it requires a negative burden on other. \u00a0Now lets take the example of human’s right to water. \u00a0I have a right to water. \u00a0Even if I don’t have a dime to pay for it, it is still my right to have it. \u00a0 Any sensible person would agree that in this case I need assistance in order to pay and receive my right to water. \u00a0Now from the Lefty’s point of view, which I will call The World’s economy, that assistance should be provided by the Government. \u00a0Well, in order for the Government to provide me assistance it requires resources. \u00a0To obtain these resourcing it turns to the society which it governs. \u00a0It does this in the form of taxes. \u00a0So in order for me to have my right which is a positive, a negative burden is placed on the government. \u00a0The government then places a negative burden on society since it’s ability to provide is limited or depenent on society. \u00a0Now society has to give up their right to use their resources as they choose in order for me to have my right to water.<\/p>\n

This example is a classic one on how the World’s economy works. \u00a0Now let’s play this out in God’s economy. \u00a0Mark 6 gives a great picture of how His economy works. \u00a0In the feeding of the multitudes the apostles appeal to Jesus to feed the thousands of people because they had nothing or very little to do it themselves. \u00a0Jesus responded to their plee by saying “You feed them”. \u00a0Take what little you have and feed them and I will take care of the rest. \u00a0So they did and the result was that all were fed with lots of left overs.<\/p>\n

Here is the difference. \u00a0In the World’s economy we depend on others (the Government) to provide for those in need. \u00a0The need is great so the Goverment has to grow. \u00a0Yet the Goverment doesn’t have an endless supply so it turns to society to fund it’s machine. \u00a0This vicious cycle never ends because the needs are never fully met. \u00a0In God’s economy, we as Christians meet the needs and depend on God to supply. \u00a0God has no limit, God is the eternal supply. \u00a0There is no negative burden placed on anyone. \u00a0There is only positive. \u00a0The needy are blessed by us, we are blessed by God, and God is glorified. \u00a0This is a foundational Christian concept that can be applied across all needs whether is be physical, mental, or emotional.<\/p>\n

As a Christian I must subscribe to God’s economy. \u00a0YHWY’s economy. \u00a0That is why I’ve left the Left…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
