American "Capitalism" - "Everything is Awesome": Just Keep Saying It! [Political cartoon]

American "Capitalism" - "Everything is Awesome": Just Keep Saying It! [Political cartoon]- zerohedge.

-------------------------------------

Great cartoon! And even greater comments. Here's two of them:

"I've never heard the rich say: 'Be happy' to the middle class. Mostly we get comments like:
Americans are lazy. - George Bush
Americans are racist. - Obama
Americans should work longer hours. - Jeb Bush"

And

"Um, the 'poor' in America are fabulously rich compared to most people living today, and Richie Rich rich compared to their counterparts 100 years ago and before.   That's capitalism."

Was John Calvin the 'Father of Capitalism?'

 Stocks End Higher for Sixth Straight Week, Tech Leads - Reuters

The Bible does not say that money is the root of all evil. At least my Bible doesn't say that (I use the Authorized King James version!).  It does say that the 'Love" of money is the root of all evil though.  The Bible says:

"But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain that we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil (I Timothy 6:6-10, emphasis mine).

But our Lord Jesus has a lot say about money. Here are just two examples:
 
"Again I tell  you that it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven." - Matthew 19:24

"Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust do corrupt and where theives do break through and steal. But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust doth not corrupt and thieves do  not break through and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." - Matthew 6:19-21

I think it is a true saying that our Lord Jesus talked more about hell than he did about heaven, and he talked more about money than he did about both heaven and hell combined!

I think Jesus is totally opposed to the materialism of our age (and the poor can be just as materialistic as the rich!). But Jesus is not opposed to money. He is opposed to the love of money, which is a big difference.

The Bible says:

"But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his kingdom which he swore unto thy fathers." - Deuteronomy 8:18

We had a missionary couple speak at our church recently, and they said that on average, it costs about $40,000 a year to support a 'boots on the ground' missionary in a foreign country. That money is not going to come from people living on welfare who spend their money on cigarettes and beer and Lottery tickets. Chances are much of this money will come from people who work, and save, and invest their money wisely, so that they have extra to give to the Lord's work here on earth.

One of my relatives was in the banking industry for many years. She used to say, 'Invest in the Lord, for the returns are out of this world!'

"How to Destroy a Nation - America Vs. The Soviet Union"

Because I very rarely watch TV or movies (see Dr. David Murray's Should Christians Watch Movies?), I probably have more time that others to listen to great sermons and other audio messages. One of the men that I listen to on a regular basis is Pastor Kevin Swanson.  I'd like to encourage you to check out this man as well.

Here is a great message that Americans especially need to listen to today:
