Constitutional Conversations A1 S8 C1 Duties, Imposts and Excises + As We Walk Podcast, Episode 1: Reading the Bible

“…but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States…”  ~ A1 S8 C1

Our Constitution gives Americans the right to have a uniform tax through out the United States. So how did we lose this? Ultimately it came through a Supreme Court decision, but first it came because Christians were seduced into a system of Mammon that entices us to be envious of those with wealth to covet what they have.

But the Kingdom of God thrives on stewardship. “Make it your goal to live a quiet life, minding your own business and working with your hands, just as we instructed you before.” ~ 1 Thessalonians 4:11 NLT

And God even promises to help us “but remember that the Lord your God gives you the power to gain wealth, in order to confirm His covenant He swore to your fathers, as it is today.” ~ Deut. 8:18

Will we trust and obey Him? Isn’t it beautiful that God will correct us, just like He did Cain, when Cain was jealous of Able: “Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you furious? And why do you look despondent? If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.”             ~ Genesis 4:6-7

How can we explain why God gave more talents to one of the stewards more than others? Why did He say to them, “For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away.” ~ Matthew 25:29 ESV. We may think that we “have not” but God says even what he HAS will be taken away…

God Almighty! We repent from our covetousness. Forgive us O God. Remove this spirit of mammon that has overtaken us. Help us to see what YOU have given each one of us. Anoint us to steward it well, to hear You say, “Well done, My good and faithful servant.” In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
