On Capitalism as a Master

"Capitalism has trounced all its enemies: socialism and communism and the rest. But it is now at its greatest danger, both as a theory and as something practical in terms of, say, daily consumerism. And we as followers of Jesus must give a theoretical critique of capitalism and a very practical critique of capitalism in terms of shopping malls, etc. And if we don’t, it is going to undermine itself and our culture." - Os Guinness from a 9 Marks.org interview

I Recommend This Months Christianity Today

I would like to commend to you this months issue of Christianity Today. It contains an article that asks the question, "What would John Calvin say to Dick Cheney?" the Question is posed in regard to the law and how the rulers of God should rule. This article is fantastic. It is brief and to the point. I found it very helpful to my thinking on these issues. I also recommend their political blog. the url is below.

On the Citizens Responsibility to Preserve His Freedoms
