The old adage is that
politics and religion are two subjects you should avoid in polite company.
In our world of 21st Century American materialism, economics may be an
even bigger landmine. There is a reason that Jesus preached so often on
money. We can get very anxious ourselves on the topic and quick to wall
off what is "mine" from what is "yours." Continuing
last week's theme, what is success to God when it comes to economics? The
short reply is "stewardship," but the New Testament offers even more subtle
and challenging answers. This week, we will explore the Parable of the
Workers in the Vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16) and the practices of the early
Christian church for lessons that still apply to us today.
