It seems that the financial blogs are filled with Doomsayers and Black Helicopter Freakazoids. These are indeed monumental times and the nationalization of our banking system (and who knows what next) that is underway is not good. But these are the times when the church should, as it has in the past, be a light shining on the hill. We should not be claque of cranks naysaying from our hobbit holes on the sidelines. Where are the Augustines, Luthers and Lewis'?
Time for the church to buck up and step up.
What impact have all the "Christian Finance" gurus had in respect to this? Have they in anyway had been a prophetic voice in all of this mess? I DO know one politician who has been sounding the trumpet long and loud on how every wing of government is blindly spending their way into oblivion -- but that's "politics!" The church should be calling the culture to task here as well! Maybe that year of Jubilee thing isn't just for theocracies...
