Can Christians Trust God with the Economy?
By Allie Martin – OneNewsNow
An international Bible teacher, author, and co-founder of a teaching ministry says Christians in America can and should find hope in the midst of the economic downturn.
Recent news reports of the fluctuating economy and the downturn in the Dow have many people, including Christians, worried about the future. Stuart Briscoe, co-founder of Telling the Truth ministry and author of more than 40 books, believes God’s Word instructs Christians how to live in uncertain times.
“[The Book of] James goes on to explain [that] we don’t welcome those trials because they make us feel good,” he points out. “We welcome these trials because we know what is going on. And what is going on is that these particular situations give us the opportunity of living at a different level — and that is the reason why we should respond positively to the trials.”
Briscoe also suggests that materialism has caused many Christians to focus on the riches of the world instead of true riches found in a deeper walk with Christ.
