“Our culture has trained us regarding not only what to do with money but also how to view the rest of creation as a set of commodities to be used for narrow economic goals. But economic practices that reduce the world to a set of commodities to be used and discarded are in conflict with God’s delight in the goodness of creation for its own sake. Once again, God’s solution is not to get rid of humanity. Rather God intends to restore us as ambassadors of his loving rule.” Practicing the King’s Economy, pg. 219
We can be employed in the world without losing hope. Instead of being beaten down by co-workers and bosses, we can take up our crosses as ambassadors of God’s New Creation that is, even now, breaking into the world.
