About this episode
We live in an age that has declared war on reality, and one of the central fronts in this war is the theater of economics. But economics is never just about money; it is always a branch of applied theology. Every economic system is a direct outworking of a particular view of God, man, and the world. Our modern, secular, and increasingly socialist state is built upon a theology that despises the created order. It seeks to sever the link that God has forged between effort and reward, between diligence and prosperity, between laziness and poverty. It is a system designed to cushion the sluggard, to subsidize his sloth, and to shield him from the consequences that God has hardwired into the fabric of the universe. The modern welfare state is the institutionalization of the sluggard’s desires. It is the political attempt to repeal the law of the harvest.
