Can Christians trust God with the economy?

Psalm 84:11
For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.

It is a breathe of fresh air when I find an article that breathes the breath of TRUTH in this decaying sewer we called "the world" that seem to continue on the WIDE road that leads to destruction. JESUS' echo from the beginning of time continues to overrule the universe since HE created it to show the world who HE truly is and Who is ruling now allowing HIS permissive will to draw everyone to uprightness who will listen to HIMSELF as His echo continues to ring in their ears to reality. IF we draw near to GOD HE will most definitely draw near to US. This is a fact. Thank You JESUS.

Can Christians trust God with the economy?

Bad economyAn international Bible teacher, author, and co-founder of a teaching ministry says Christians in America can and should find hope in the midst of the economic downturn.


Recent news reports of the fluctuating economy and the downturn in the Dow have many people, including Christians, worried about the future. Stuart Briscoe, co-founder Stuart Briscoeof Telling the Truth ministry and author of more than 40 books, believes God's Word instructs Christians how to live in uncertain times.

"[The Book of] James goes on to explain [that] we don't welcome those trials because they make us feel good," he points out. "We welcome these trials because we know what is going on. And what is going on is that these particular situations give us the opportunity of living at a different level -- and that is the reason why we should respond positively to the trials."

Briscoe also suggests that materialism has caused many Christians to focus on the riches of the world instead of true riches found in a deeper walk with Christ.
