DUTCH TREAT- Cal Fox's Blog

We previously posted an article about the Tithe and sought to answer the question: Is tithing for Christians? 

I have now posted an article about the Sabbath on my website, Reformedliving.org.  What is the Sabbath?  What does observing it involve?  Does God expect Christians to observe the Sabbath?  Why? 

Some Christians today believe in what they call "Jubilee Economics".  They are convinced that the Bible teaches an economy of enough, of economic equality and that the Bible rejects private enterprise, the free market and the profit motive.  The latter are supposed to be unchristian.  Where do these Christians find Jubilee Economics?  One of the primary passages they use is Leviticus 25.  I have posted a new Essay on this subject on my website, Reformedliving.org

We constantly hear in the media stories that are supposed to make us sorry for people who are having a terrible go of it in these "tough economic times".  To be frank, I do not really feel bad for most of them.  Some, sure; they are genuine victims; but I have no particular sympathy for people who over extended and spent or bought irresponsibly.  I do feel sorry for the multitudes who have always played the Game by the Rules and who will have to pay for the sins and foolishness of others.  I especially feel sorry for our children and grandchildren who will be adversely effected by the egregious behavior of others (including our Government) for years to come.

I salute all those who work hard, save, manage their money well, stay out of unnecessary debt, live frugal and simple lives, are honest and trustworthy (the way Christians are supposed to do).  God bless and keep you.  Actually, I know He will.  Stay the course, don't cave in to fear or despair.  Stick to your guns and Biblical principles.
