Clarifying the Debt Debate
"... And the borrower is servant to the lender". Proverbs 22:7
If you listen to the politicians and pundits on television, the American economy will either be in disarray or be just fine this coming Tuesday, August 2nd if a deal is not reached on the debt ceiling and budget. In the process of trying to persuade the American people that “our side is right”, both sides have likely done more to confuse the American people than anything else.
So what will happen if a budget and debt ceiling deal isn’t reached? Will government social security payments immediately stop to the elderly? What should government be doing to get our country on sound financial footing -- taxing Americans more or spending less or both? What side should a Christian take in this monumental decision in our nation’s history?
Jay Richards, author of Money, Greed, and God, is perhaps the best person that I know to clarify complex economic issues from a Christian perspective. He joins us this week on The Christian Worldview to do just that because the pending decision in Washington DC will impact your life.

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness.
