A Christian defense free markets

by Marshall on April 13, 2011

If you’ve ever wondered at (or been frustrated by) Christian support of free market economics, free enterprise, and limited goverment…here’s something for your consideration:

Today, RJ Moeller over at the Common Sense Concept Two Cents Blog embarks on an epic journey to honestly explain how he sees his Christian faith informing his socio-economic-political beliefs:

I firmly believe that the Bible affirms free enterprise, entrepreneurial activity, and the de-centralization of power in the hands of fallen men and women.

What follows is my defense of that belief.

Whether you agree or disagree, I encourage you to check it out as it may help explain the theological roots of at least part of today’s political debate in the US and around the globe.

In his first post, RJ deals with Creation, God’s image, and the Cultural Mandate:

As one made in God’s image, I am a walking, talking (albeit limited) expression of His character, creativity, and capabilities.  What does this generally mean?  The lives we live have meaning.  There are better (God-honoring) ways to live our lives.  We are capable of great and imaginative things.

I for one will be following along closely. I encourage you to do the same, too!
