What are the key biblical concepts and principles for making faith-based, economic decisions?

Is/Is Not

Gospelism is:

  • An Economic Theory
  • Biblical Worldview
  • Practical
  • Exclusively Evangelical*

Gospelism is not:

  • A new denomination
  • A new theology/doctrine
  • A new para-church ministry
  • Ecumenical

Perhaps this topic deserves more discussion later… 

The critical essence of the distinction that needs to be made here is that it is my intention to honor the purity of the Gospel of Jesus Christ yet at the same time firmly draw the boarders on any attempt otherwise to make it more that it is - an economic theory.   I want to charge  the evangelical believer with the question, “In light of the Gospel, how do you make your economic choices?”  In the same way, it is a discussion for the unbeliever, whether they be secular or of a diverge sect or worldview, to objectively observe. 

I intend for the theory to operate in exclusivity, recognizing the pluristic society we live in, in order to fully discern the basis in which 1) the example of Jesus Christ teaches us fundemental concepts (Value, Self-Denial, Exchange, Faith, Time, Scarcity), and 2) the whole counsel of God defines and interprets (the best interpreter of the Word of God is the Word of God) economic issues.  With these assumptions in place, I believe the evangelical faith community can initiate a fruitful dialogue and it is my hope, that through actions of individual believers, the love of Christ will shine as Jesus intended, as the light of the world.

    I completely agree with your Is/Is Not statements. Very clear, concise and more importantly biblical! Well done !

    This is a subject that the Church has neglected to the ignorance of her people. Thank you for this great contribution to the Kingdom of God.
