A Vision of a Moneyless Economy

-
Introduction: A Vision of a Moneyless Economy As an American millennial, I’ve experienced a unique position in history, one where the values of sacrifice and support have collided with a harsh economic reality. My father, a Baby Boomer, sacrificed much to ensure I had opportunities, even offering me the last of his investment funds—nearly $50,000 in 2005—to help me through college. His act was one of love and dedication, and I honor it deeply. Yet, as I navigate my life and the world we now live in, I recognize that this gesture also highlights a broader, more troubling story about generational wealth and the system that has upheld it. The Baby Boomer generation, now between the ages of 60 and 78, controls an astonishing 52% of the world’s wealth. In stark contrast, my generation—millennials—hold a mere 9%. Generation Z doesn’t even make it onto the wealth distribution chart. The numbers paint a grim picture, but they only scratch the surface of a deeper imbalance. As we confront these

Letters warning ministries of using money

-
  I am writing to bring to your attention the growing dangers that usury poses to the missionary fields supported by your work. As you know, usury is not merely a financial practice; it is a manifestation of the sin of greed, deeply rooted in a worldview of scarcity and exploitation. This greed is often enabled by the sin of fear, as communities cling to material security at the expense of moral integrity. Prophets like Jeremiah warned of the dire consequences for those who turn away from God and engage in systems of deceit and plunder. In the context of today’s missionary efforts, reliance on U.S. dollars and other forms of government currency can unwittingly entangle communities in these same destructive patterns. I encourage you to consider the implications of usury on your fields and to foster a commitment to stewardship rooted in love and cooperation rather than exploitation. For a deeper exploration of these themes, I invite you to read my book, "Usury: The Civilization Kill

The Source of Power: Obedience

-

  Where does authority come from? Where does power come from? What gives you the power to default on your debts, withdraw your consent to be governed? What gives you the authority to convict judges, legislators, lawyers, and sheriff of criminal activity? Many look to man-made institutions like Congresses, Parliaments, Courtrooms, offices, and titles, but the authority to speak the truth to institutions of power does not come from these places. It comes from one’s obedience to Natural Law and Nature’s God.  Those, even those of no earthly consequence, the poor, weak, the meek, and the humble who submit to God, are endowed with His  authority. When they speak truth, God speaks through them.  Those, even those with great earthly esteem and renowned, who rebel against God are nothing. When they speak it is less than wind and only of consequence to other fools, the silent and the immoral.  If we hope to have authority and power, we must be obedient to God alone.  Jesus is our example here.

Quotes on Usury

-
I want to create an intro to the book Usury: The Civilization Killer called Usury: The Unquestioned Assumption that defines usury and describes it’s historical development in very layman terms as a way to develop a major premise of the justification for the book, namely that every mistake we make comes from a false but unquestioned assumption about some aspect of reality. In terms of usury and moneylending, it’s very clear that we don’t understand what money could be and should be but more fundamentally we have assumptions about the world that are false. These assumptions are as diverse as they are universal because almost all of human society for all of human history has been built on these false assumptions. It’s these false beliefs that lead is to error and ruin. The introduction should use the quotes below to give weight to the historical nature of the argument. The Ayn Rand quote should be used to see how even someone who challenged the status quo more than anyone else wound up as
