The Money Delusion

Posted on December 29, 2011 by LovingLikeGod.com

By now, with the help of academia, the government, the bankers, and the media, we have moved beyond the “money illusion” and are presently located in the money delusion. The problem with gold as money is not that there isn’t enough of it, (Gold is infinitely divisible, so the quantity is not a problem) no, the problem from a governmental perspective is that gold has integrity. By now there is so much corruption in the system that no one seems to want integrity any more, not even where money is concerned.

Fiat or paper money is a lie. The Constitution says, “no State shall make anything but Gold and silver legal tender in payment of debt.”

Gold represents monetary truth. It is not the absolute Truth, only Jesus Christ is “The TRUTH!” Gold is the provision of God for monetary truth, and as such represents Christ in free markets. In the Greek, gold is “crusos,” and Christ is “Cristos.” The functional definition of the Greek root is “furnish what is needed.”

Where worldly economics are concerned, it is gold that is needed. Ultimately it is Christ Who is needed. He has become for us our only integrity!

Economically we have already passed the “event horizon,” and are headed for a “black hole.” Whether another “Dark Ages” or the “Second coming,” it’s not going to be pretty for quite a while.

Love!

Christmas

Posted on December 20, 2011 by LovingLikeGod.com

“But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’ So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.”

Galatians 4:4-7

This is to say, external regulation had enough time – the time had come to get a life! That had to wait for the right time, and the right woman, Isaiah 54:1.

Love!

Reflections on Sunday Morning Television

Posted on December 18, 2011 by LovingLikeGod.com

It’s not easy surfing the channels on Sunday morning without being painfully aware of how victimized the saints have become where discerning the difference between anointing and theatrics is concerned.

That said, this Sunday I am reminded once again of something else, but very much related, even from the beginning – Diotrephes comes to mind.

It has to do with entitlement. Our whole nation, and increasingly the world as taught by the U.S. is drowning in a sea of entitlement. Entitlement is sort of the opposite, of “he that doesn’t work, neither shall he eat.”

It was intended that, “…from before the foundation of the world that through the church, the world might be taught the manifold wisdom of God.” It seems that this too became an occasion of stumbling, as what’s been calling itself “church” seems to have taught the world something else altogether – entitlement. What has been passing for “Christian leadership” has been operating out of entitlement for millennia by now, and we see this reflected in government, just about any government, but for now, the U.S. Government serves well enough as an example.

The U.S. Congress in particular, is the very embodiment of entitlement as it continues to abide in and pass laws that do not apply to itself. It is above it’s own legislation, much like what has been passing for leadership in what’s been calling itself “church.” Ezekiel 34 has much to say about this.

Perhaps enough said for one Sunday morning.

Love!
